Don't know if i have ever seen this question on here.... so ill ask. if i don't get feedback, ill sleep tonight.

More so curious.

What shells do you use? and why? Or are you the guy that buys whatever is on sale?

Also, what choke do you use? why that one? do you try to match shells with choke?


ready, go.

OG Nova + IC + 3" #3 Remington Hi Speed at present. Seems to do well enough. Don't mind breaking into a box of Dry Locs either.

I shoot Kent 3" 3's 1 1/4 have shot them since they were cheap when I got out of school about 13 years ago. They shoot very well out of my gun so I keep using them even though now they are no longer cheap shells.

Opening day I shoot IC after about the second week I go to Modified and keep it in the rest of the season.

Big fan of the Kent 3" #3s, shoot Lite Mod all the time out of a Stoeger M3500. Usually about $150/case shipped from Roger's. Patterned it one time against a creek bank and it made a round pattern so that stuff is just a waste of time IMO.

3" Drylock BB's with a mod choke. You either miss him or kill him dead. Hardly any cripples. And they are hard on Specks too!! :lol:

Factory full, 3 in 2 shot rios! Killed plenty of ducks and geese within 45 yards with this combo. Luckily it patterns awesome out of my 1187 and shells are cheap, just have to get them before season or you cant find them anywhere.
