[QUOTE="snow, post: 270706, member: 1056"] actually you are correct fed blue box or xpert steel winchester for birds with feet down in dekes,for those that say ammo such as hevi shot "is a joke" you have'nt a clue on ballistics,some folks around the country don't have the luxury of fresh birds down from canada giving said shooter shots inside 40yds so enter hevi shot true very expensive for 100% hevi shot at$3.50 per shell but hevi shot offers alternative waterfowl ammo price to compete with other high end steel shot like black cloud $20+ per box,duplex loads like hevi metal,thought it was interesting hevi shot folks are dabbling with bismuth today,hevi shot pellets are made up with tungsen,nickle and tin(hence the hefty price tag) making them 10% heavier than lead giving the shot greater down range kinetic energy over any other steel shot manufacturer.,late season honkers landing short of your spread or decoy shy birds late season can fall to hevi shot with out shooting 12ga 3.5 BB,BBB OR T which doing so results in more cripples unless you break a wing or lucky head shot,use what ya want I thought these specs were interesting and shared, fyi lead weighs in around 10g/cc so bottom line is density/weight = longer range smaller shot size= more pellets on target less cripples compared to any/all steel loads when birds are not decoying or pass shooting,further one can put just one of these high end shells in for the last shot rather than pumping $10 in 3 shots for one bird just a few thoughts [/QUOTE]
