My gun puts about 7 pellets in the kill zone at 40 yards. My buddy, who spent about 200 dollars more on his gun + another $150 or so with different chokes and shot sizes. As a result he now gets 15 shots in the kill zone at 40 yards. Is it worth it? Not to me. Mine kills em just as dead with a few less pellets but its GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

And what is it with these 3 1/2 inch shells. They may work for some but they just leave me in pain. I' ll stick with 3" . ITs not the size of the shell, Its how you use it.
