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.
