Alot of people have bashed estate's over the yrs but I've always liked them, especially their heavy load lead shells. Their shells, however, tend to be somewhat shorter than the order brands.

I gotta give it to Estate steel shot also. I bought two boxes a few years back for the geese and ended up calling them and shipping it back. They sent me two new boxes that I gladly gave away. Pure crap if you ask me!

Estate Steel Shot is the worst I have ever shot. Don't know about their lead shot. I have never shot any.

I always liked Estates back when they used to be a bargain. Heck, if you shoot Federals, they are the same freaking shell for the last 3 years.


Hevi-Steel: The "don't get it near water if you want it to go "bang" shell gets my vote.

Got a case of Estates before the season, they've been fine so far. But they're not the bargain they used to be.

Winchester is the gold standard when it comes to steel, IMO.

Sears back when they made shotgun shells, they were as useless as you can get.
