I haven't tried it, and don't think I will. Low pellet count and high velocity doesn't make much sense to me; velocity is for shooting further, but wait....didn't we take away pellets from our pattern to get that speed? I'm content with 1400-1500fps loads; have also heard numerous poor-pattern reports with the hypervelocity loads. Not saying some people don't have the guns/chokes that shoot them great though. Also, how much range will the extra 200fps get you? Unless you're using big shot, your pellet will probably only be able to keep that extra speed up for a few yards. And if you are using big shot, then your pellet count suffers and makes it more difficult to get on target. Just my opinion!
