[Paul Zelenka]

What type of shells do you use? Has anyone ever shot Fiocchi steel shot before?

Never shot Fiocchi.

I have shot Estate, Federal and Rio, all in #3 or #4, 3", 1 1/4oz loads, around 1400 fps. These all perform well out of my gun, especially the #3s.

Ath present, winchester, because wallyworld has them at a good price--Have shot steel since the feds gave it out on refuges eons ago to see how it worked---Man, that stuff was AWFUL. The newer technology has certainly made stuff much better--Remember to open choke for the steel--Works real good on decoying birds, but range diminishes as range increases--Gravity acts on steel a lot faster than the old lead loads---

This Fiocci sounds expensive. I shoot Winchester Expert 3" 2's and 4's. They're cheek and they get the job done

 

[Paul Zelenka]

They are cheap thats why i asked $109 a case 12ga 3in 1425 fps

 

[Bill Ferrar]

$109 is that local or mail order?

They make a good shell. Their Hulls are sought after for reloading because the straight wall allows a lot of ease in seating and extra room for payload if you are looking to load up or stuff them full of slow powder.
