Default RE: shotgun shells debate

Well Luckydog, I bit the bullet and tried out the Blackclouds out of my new 11-87 Sportsman... I couldn't be more impressed! Two mornings ago we had two woodies lightto the north ofour spread. I didn't see them until the last second because of the dense fog, but I threw up put one on the rear duck at about 35 yards and he dropped no problem. (I waded out to him and he had about 15 pellets in him, and the feathers just exploded off of him wheneverI shot.) I was waitin for my buddy to shoot, but he was having safety problems, so I shot one more time at her and hit her, but she kept on flyin... I think this was too far of a shot for my gun anyway. My buddy finally pulled off a shot and dropped her. She was crippled and he had to wade across the "goop" to go get her.

Anyway, the blackclouds killed that bird slap dead! I'm glad you talked me into buyin a box.
