Hey everybody;

I'm planing on doing a field journal entry reviewing, testing, listing some of the new non-tox's for 07, as well as a few tried and true loads.

Anyone like to see any particular load tested? Anything you'd like to have thrown in... any input from the gallery?

Or heck, even anything you'd like to see covered in future field journals here on HNI that are waterfowl related?

Hey SC,
I'm interested in Fed's HD and BlackCloud loads. I used some old rem. Hevi-shot #2last season in Sask.The difference between it and the steel we were using was obvious on impact.TheHevi-shothitharderand folded 'em farther out than the steel.

Black Cloud is definately going to be included, don't worry about that one! I'm interested to learn more about it and see how it does. Fed's HD is going to be in as well as the steady stand by's... such as Hevi shot and Wingmaster, and Elite etc etc.

Blackcloud is going to be one of the few entrants in what I am going to call the hybrid's... which includes hevi steel.

Then of course, there will be steel in general.

Planning on doing a patterning test, with average prices and manf info listed.

Thinking on a penetration test... but I'm not quite sure how I am going to go about it yet.....

Id also like to see Black Cloud and the Wingmaster HD. I'd also like to see how good old Kent matches up to these loads if you can fit that in too.

SwampCollie

What loads you thinkin of Goose?

Goose Assasin

they are made by federal they are not hevi-shot, they are tungsten loads only made in bb and bbb loads in 3 1/2 they run about 25.00 for 10 shells

Carpmaster

Definitely the federal black cloud!!! To heck with the expensive stuff!

Goose I've shot those before and I think they have a wider range than just 3inch BB and BBB. I've used 2's so I know they at least make that.
