Fiocchi Shells

Postby mharville » Thu Nov 05, 2009 1:01 pm

Does anybody on here shoot these shells? I've had bad luck buying shells and was thinking a/b trying these.

I shoot 'em, and like 'em. I'm shooting 3"#2's out of a Benelli with the Kicks high flyer in mod, and kill ducks dead. They seem to burn pretty clean too.Not a lot of unburned grit left in the barrel. The "golden waterfowl" ones are supposed to be waterproof too.

Have I in some way offended some illitterate? Albania? Boom boom boom? WTF? I like the shells, some shells pattern better out of different guns and chokes, so I thought it would be polite to let the man know the details, since he may or may not be using the combination I am. Kind of a disclaimer if you will. Don't want the guy upset if they don't pattern well out of his 11-87 or whatever he's shooting. Duck Commander commercial??? My name is my name. I'm not the one claiming to be the "deltadukman".

Sorry if I offend. It's easy to be an internet badass when you don't know who you're making fun of. Jackass.

I also shoot #2's - 3" out of a benelli with a Briley imp/mod. I like them and will probably purchase again when my current supply runs out. I bought case on sale and decided to try because of price. Don't know what they are currently going for.

Yep, shot em last year, and bought some more this year. 3" #2 or #3 if they're decoying well.
worked well in the Super-X II.

I shot the steel shot for the first time last year, I like them better than Kent's. They burn cleaner, so if you shoot a gas operated auto they don't leave as much "gunk powder" in the ports and action. Oh yea they are for sure bad medicine on dove's they are all I shoot dove hunting.
Damn, i thought I had that one

Is that buddy of yours tryin to blow that call or make love to it?
