I just picked up a case of winchester expert high velocity 3 inch #3s 1&a1/4oz. I know every one has a brand of shells that they prefer and that topic has been discussed over and over again, but what number and ounces of shot do you guys like the best

I prefer Winchester Xpert 3" 1/4oz #4

Hevi-shot subguage waterfowl. .410 3" #7. Aim small miss small

I actually just bought two case of exactly what you have from Mackspw for $100 a case. I used to shoot the dryloc and supremes but I personally don't notice the difference...

Remington 3inch 3shot 1&1/4

3" 1 3/8 oz #3's for most situations.

BB's for windy days or having to shoot big ducks a little farther than I would prefer.

So yall think the 1 1/4oz is better than the 1 3/8oz?

More shot better? or faster shot better????

I found,,,and it may just be me, that the 1 3/8 shot better....anyone say any different?

2 3/4 #6

3" rounds with 1 3/8 oz of shot for me. Both in BB for geese and #4 for ducks. They seem to behave much better on paper out of my gun.

Can't beat the Fiocci Heavy Steel for $149 free shipping. 3.5" 1-9/16oz @ 1470 fps.
Cut one of them shitsperts open and compare the pellets to any decent shell.
We have run better than 10 cases of them Fioccis with no problems. My SBE2 loves em.

#7 winchester for teal. #4 kent fasteel for ducks. full choke kills em dead no matter what you use though. If you can shoot a small pattern, do it.

I need to make an order too. What brands are you guys looking at that you can get a 1 3/8 load in a 3" shell? Everything I've seen is 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 unless you step to a 3 1/2.

3" 1-1/4oz #2 for everything except early teal when I use the same in #4s. Find a choke/load that patterns in your gun and forget everything else.

Im wondering the same thing... I almost want to just shoot #4's this season with a full choke at big ducks... Will this work as well as say, #2's in a mod? Any advantages to shooting smaller shot, with a tighter choke? I never thought about it until I saw Robn bustin them up in the videos with #7s.

Can anyone help me out?

Also... What 3" shell can I get in 1 3/8?

1 1/4 are ok but 1 3/8 kills them dead!! No comparison not even close!!

Steel shot size in order of preference:

F
T
BBB
BB

Kent
Estate also has them

All my mags say heaviest Kent is 1/4 in a 3"

3' ronnie med barely any of the mag. say any thing about 1 3/8

If I see any 3" with 1 3/8 #4, you never will unless you hunt with me. I will buy all of it on the shelf

Ok. I'll do some looking online

Brownells carries them.
Lot of good info here from a fuge member.

Winchester makes a Dryloc 3" with 1-3/8 oz. shot. We've been shooting them for years. The mags all like to post the 1-1/4 loads because they are faster, which is apparently cool to some people.

I like the Kent fasteel 3" #4 1 1/8 oz 1560 fps. They pattern well in my gun (Browning Silver) and the higher velocity seems to cripple less. I also challenge you to cut open an xpert shell and compare the shot to any other shell. The pellets are not round, almost look like welding slag, and they dont do well if you submerge them in water. I sometimes wade for a few hours in waist deep water with my shells under and havent had a problem with the Kents. Just my .02

slower is truer and more consistent

Last year I shot the 1 3/8 most of the season when I ran out I went to the 1 1/4 just wasn't a comparison. As for as the high dollar shells out today the only ones I would shoot are blind side!! They are 1 3/8 oz I guaranty they are some bad ass shells just to expensive for me lol

x2 on the blind sides.. they some badass shells

I can never get myself to buy those high dollar shells. IMO they just lighten your wallet. I usually pick up whatever is cheap. A tight pattern is 10 x more effective than a golden 20 dollar bb.

How much are those fioncci's yall are talking about?

Check Rogers Sporting goods. They sell the Fios.
