Anyone tried these out yet? The reviews make them look almost too good to be true.

William Sumtoy shot one in a brand new A5 and got 200 in 10" circle at 40 yards using 6's. Impressive Pb #'s.

Ricky, William has posted up a bunch in the OG gun pattern section. Couple different Remington's and a new A5. They are breaking 200 at forty with 3.5 6 s.

I ordered two boxes of 12 gauge, 3 1/2 inch, #6s that will be here in early January. I will shoot them in my Benelli and BPS and post the results.

William posted a 250 in a 10 ring with that load you ordered in a 20inch Rem SM. Have we even seen 2.25 3.5 inch Hevi go that high

Thanks.... I never tried Indian Creek before. Saw the name many times though, must be a good one if you are using them.

wonder what type of choke Winchester recommends for this ammo?  A wad stripping choke or wad maintainer choke???  Since the wad in these is a liquid poured resin.---Jason

The buffer in these shells starts out as pellets and when you fiee the round all the shot compresses the buffer pellets into a powder which tightens the load together and maintains the shot string further away from the barrel. It works well in a ported standard choke.
