 12 ga 3" question Shooting Winchester expert 12 ga #3 -4 steel shot out of my Browning Maxus. Thinking of trying the black cloud ammo with the special choke tube. Is it worth the money ???
Missing mostly teal and ringers in lake O in Florida.
Thank you.

Re: 12 ga 3" question I have a browning gold and I use snow goose black cloud and I can tell a difference. I definitely have less cripples, but I will say there is the occasional shot where its like the shot is messed up. Not to often but I did notice it when I did have to pick off the cripples. But then again shoot it in the head and the shell won't matter to much.

Re: 12 ga 3" question no need to.....kicks states the full is for 20-50 yards and i can guarantee that it will reach out and knock em down.

Re: 12 ga 3" question Rudy, final tally was 80 ringers. I used Federal blue box 3" #3 1 1/4 oz. loads. Bought a case from Rogers for $99.99- including shipping! Can't beat that price and they were duck killers! All the best, Raul

Re: 12 ga 3" question I use a Kicks Mod with Winchester Supreme 3" #3s, except for teal hunting, when I'll use the Kicks Imp Cyl with #4. I shot a couple boxes of Black Cloud a few seasons ago and found them to be extremely dirty shells and not pattern that well out of my guns.
