    I buy Winchester or Federal. I bought some cheapies last year at wal mart and they weren't any good I decided. I was knockin feathers off but barely knocked any birds down. I can't remember the name of them now but they were in a green and red box.

          I usually prefer AA, but I picked up a case of those cheap Monarchs at Academy the other day. Not expecting much, but for $50 a case I thought I would give em a shot.

                    I like Estates and Rios, but it seems harder to find the 8's lately. My gun likes 8's.

                        I am with you on this one. Love 8's and my hit ratio went way up. Now up close shot with those 8's turns them into a mist

                            I've been shooting steel at dove for the past 10 years. Two reasons - lead and lead. It's faster and I need to lead the birds less, and it results in less lead in the field, which is a good thing for everyone.

                                I bought a flat of the 20 ga and tried them tonight. I thought they shot fine. Had a couple of pretty far shots with an IC and dropped like a rock.
