What steel loads do you use?

Challenger... Tried the more expensive stuff...its no better.

Won't touch BC with a 10 foot pole, horrible load for me last year, got better results with the wal mart Winchester super - x!

Dad and his buddy were shooting Blind Side at honkers last year with great results, but Kent for me.

Kent would be my load of choice although as a good deal would have it, I will be using federal 3.5" x 1.5oz BB this season (the price was right). I agree BC is a waste of time and just creates "feather clouds" in close.

Have tried BC, Hevi-shot, win super-x, Federal "blue-box"??, Winchester supreme, tungsten, bismuth and kent. I've been using Kent for the last few years with good results @ a good price! Of course it depends on the gun, etc etc, that's why patterning is important and so is your budget!!

I dont put to much stock in those "fancy" shells. If your birds are decoying then it dosent matter what brand you use. So I'd recommend using whats cheapest, most readily available or what ever patterns best in your gun. I personnally use challenger 3" bb, but thats because i get them @$13.50 a box with my discount.

under your post says your a feild staff for zink?

Yes - but he does have a point.

Nothing but Kents for me for the last 10 or so years. No need for anything else. I shoot the slower 1 1/4 oz loads. I prefer more shot to the extra 2000ish FPS of speed.

I agree - I have tried the KENTS after spending too much $$$ on the more expensive shells and have been very pleased - slower shot 1 3/8 load have been folding them beautifully.

If you're going to mix it up I'd shoot hevi metal as opposed to hevi steel.

Last few years been shooting blue box federal and challenger, I prefer the challenger.

Having said that, the guys I hunt with shoot mostly Winchester super x and have a lot of success with it.
