Default What kind of shells?

I'm wondering what steel shells you all shoot? I'm looking for quality, and inexpensive. I've got a 12 ga. that'll shoot 3" shells. My G/F is also going and she's got a 20 ga. that'll also shoot 3" shells. We have to shoot steel over water here in NY so let me know what you think.

I have good luck with Kent steel, for the money I think its one of the best deals. Stay away from the Win Expert, its cheap and thats what you get.

I have had good luck with Kent and Federal Speed Shok(blue box)(most reasonable)for fairly priced steel...

I like the Dry-loks, a little more expensive that the real cheap stuff but i havnt been disapointed.

Im tried black clouds and so far not anything specail. Dont make it complicated bud, buy the cheap stuff and just practice

Unfortunately I bought some before I read this. I went with the Win. Xperts, just b/c they were quick and cheap so I have something to shoot right now. I'll look into the Kent shells next time, I think they just went on sale anyway. Thanks guys, and any more suggestions would be great.

I think pmc and kent are the best for the $ but for a little more you can get the new black clouds by federal and let me tell you what, whoo, damn good steel shot for $20
