This past weekend my group decided to try some experaments.
I loaded up with some Federal High Velocity 3-1/2 BB steel, one guy had Remington Heavey Shot in 3-1/2 BB , and my buddy had the Black Cloud in 3-1/2 BB.

A small flock of 4 geese worked our set, as they were about to leave us we decided to takem.
At about 50 to 75 yards out I was the first to shoot, the guy furthest down the line could hear my bb's hitting the birds and I ended up with one down for three round fdired.

The next guy in line was the Black cloud, two rounds two dead geese.

The last guy was the Remington Heavey shot, three rounds and only a rocker no dead goose.

Now maybe the Remington guy and myself were off on our aim, and the black cloud guy was dead on??

All I can say is I have two boxes to try for my self now.

Check the specs on a premium 3 1/2 inch load youd be surprised how close the difference is.

Instead of buying that expensive ammo for the rest of your life just go out and buy pattern master choke tube. They rock, and the pattermaster rep told me that all you need to buy is kent fast steel 1 1/8oz shot which is one of the cheapist and it will knock down more geese then you can imagine! as long as you can shoot!
