Well I guess that's why I'm asking the Q.....
I have buddies that are obsessed with Boss (I have no issues shooting Boss or any other manufacturers load for that matter. )
But they swear that the Boss is better cuz it's perfectly round and thereby produces more consisten patterns.....
If shot...
Ok--so when I hear of guys $hit talking Hevi-Shot for pellets that aren't perfectly round, they're basically saving/believing Hevi-Shot doesn't quality control their pellets & doesn't pull the "deformed " pellets out?
So how is Hex-Shot made like Winchester/Browning?
I don't reload, so maybe someone can help me understand.
What's the difference between shot pellets. I don't mean the size differences between #7.5 vs BB. I get the sizing perfectly fine.
But when I look at different manufacturers loads, I see different prices for the same size, FPS, charge...
Depends on what you wanna spend?
Geese
Steel:
BBBs, BBs, 1s, 2s in will kill geese just fine
Bismuth:
1s, 2s, 3s & 4s
Tungsten:
2s, 3s, 4s
I shoot so many geese, I just use cheap steel BBs for my 12ga, but if I'm shooting sub gauges. I like 2 or 3 Bismuth for my 20ga and for my 28ga I like...
I get the supply/demand curve, inflation, increasing gas prices and the domino effect it has on prices, I get the politics side of it along with quality ideas.....
But to me. Plastic is still plastic....IMO a jug of water and the plastic it uses is still the same plastic of goose decoys. Yes...
So like all consumers, I try to buy the best things at the best prices. Value is important. I'm also crazy obsessed with hunting/shooting and do subscribe to "buy once, cry once" when it comes to things that I don't want to compromise.

I have a .243 and it loves the XP
So does my 30-06, my brothers 30-06, my father in laws 30-06, my brothers 300 Win Mag.....
Excellent bullet. Every animal went bang, flop with it.....well, technically one actually went "flop, bang" (lol, read below.)
My dad used my .243 in WY for antelope...
Argentina was unbelievable. I won a DU raffle and went. I'd go again in a heart beat! I went with my dad, brother and uncle.
Doves EVERYWHERE! And we hunted the "off season in March." Bring a shoulder shooting pad and shooting gloves. I was perfectly fine with that, 20s are light on the...
Syren and Weatherby make women's guns:

Apparently their combs are lower to support a better shoulder pocket on women's guns. Weatherby makes a .308 rifle.
If you really want, Boss has 16ga non-toxic.....it's expensive for #7 shot and they come in 20 round boxes or a case of 200 would get you 8 rounds.....
😬😬
Ok boys. Just got home from the range. Needless to say I'm VERY happy.
To Recap:
Last Friday, I put Federal Blue Box 180s on paper and it shot 1.5'-2" groups. I then shot 5 rounds of 180gr CoreLoks and 5 rounds of 200 gr Terminal Ascent. Just hoping something would group. All three grouped...
Sanded it down to get a free float and I can pull a sheet of paper almost all the way back to where the barrel meets the chamber. But not all the way, cuz the sides of the stock near the chamber are snug....is this an issue? Am I to sand off some of the side piece.....?
Also grabbed 2 other...
