Worst shell I've ever had the pleasure of shooting. Did not seem to be an improvement over steel. Load is only 1 1/8 oz.

ditto here. Bought a case last year and went back to Kent this year. Could not tell a difference other than the cost.
SHOT FOR 3 YEARS

BUT TO GET ANY DIFFERENCE THAN STEEL YOU NEED TO SHOOT 31/2 WITH SOME KIND OF PATTERNMASTER- PRICE HAS GONE WAY UP SINCE I SHOT ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, DON'T KNOW IF IT IS STILL WORTH IT OR NOT.

I tell you what, a buddy of mine got some Black Cloud shells last weekend, 3 1/2's BB. Those things were AWESOME!! Course at over $25 a box they darn well better be. He hit a Specklebelly at no less than 80-85 yards high, skybusted the $#!+ out of it and HIT IT. Hit it so hard, you could hear it, the goose dropped down to about 45 or 50 ft and gathered itself and flew off, albeit with a major tummy ache!!!!, then hit another one at around 60 or 70ft high and killed it. Never would have thought he would killed it, If they weren't so darn expensive, they'd be worth it!!!!

15.99 a box for the 3" @ Simmons...I think the 3.5 was around 18 a box?
