Thread: Steel Shot.........

I shoot Kent FastSteel 3" #2. Its not cheap, but it works the best from my 870. Federal bluebox steel, not so much, they are crap in my gun.

x2 on the Kent. One of the ag fertilizer places here in town had a retail side they just recently closed down. Lots of stuff went dirt cheap and at one time they had the Kent's for around $9 a box on the 12ga steel. Wish I would have caught it earlier and would have bought all they had. I have shot the Kent's for years now and really like them. I still shoot regular ol' 3" shells and never seemed to have a problem killing ducks along side guys shooting the high dollar 3 1/2". Hawks over in your neck of the woods used to have good deals on them as well.

Fort Thompson has Federal 3" for 99.99. I have shot before and there is nothing wrong with the shell.

Mack's or Fort Thompson should be running sales about now.

Federal has always been a "dirty" shell in the heavier loads for my experience. I shot Kent's until they got up near the $150/case range. I shot Xperts for a while and then we couldn't get them. Fiochi's last year, but man that shell throws a fireball out the end of the barrel. I'd shoot some more Fiochi shells if I could get them for $100-$110/case.

Hawks used to have a lot of stuff and be really competitive on most items. Seems like they don't try to be competitive any more.

Nimrod, I did see online that Mack's had Xpert's for $109/case. That may be what I get, just thought there might be a store along the way of my route throught he state that would be worth stopping and picking up 5 or 6 cases for a decent price.
