    I haven't used the black cloud before. I have always shot dryloks but I just shot my first box of the remington hypersonic steel shot I like them alot. So I'm gonna use the hypersonics for the rest of the season. I would recommend them and they are like $4 cheaper but $4 is not a big deal.

      Deep pockets? It would make a big difference if I hunted as much as I used to.

        If you get them in the dekes like you are suppose to.... regular steel kills them just as dead...
        This^^ I use the cheap steel shot and they die just as good. All the "super shotshells" do is promote skybusting.

          Buy two boxes of Xpert for the same price and shoot more...I can't see paying that much for a box of shells. I don't even use 3.5", I use #4 -3", just my opinion though.

            Black cloud dirties up a gun quick. I used it once, now its Kent or Hevi for me just depends on my mood and what the store has in stock.

              I've been shooting BC for about 3 years now and I like them a lot. I have a Nova pump and they worked well but when I added the choke to match them they worked even better. The pattern is great in my gun, the best I have found. They are more expensive but IMO it was worth it for me because I have less wounded ducks to chase.

                Has anyone had trouble with the black clouds getting wet? I took a little spill on the way out to the blind last season and all the shells I was carrying got submerged totally. Once in the blind 1 shell fired and 5 or 6 misfired before I borrowed some shells from my buddy. Blackcloud said this was not normal and offered to replace them if i'd send them in but I kind of forgot about it. I was sold on them until then. Maybe I just got a bad batch?
