| That's cool! Are they changing anything else with the load or expanding the 16 ga line? |

| Too bad Kent wouldn稚 make their bismuth shells purple, they worked good for me this year on ducks. |

I知 not 100% sure on that.
I think in the off season(summer) if you call them they might load you a different shot size other then #5.
After shooting a pile of them in #5 last season I see no reason to shoot anything other than #5, see my previous posts in this thread. |

Now that these shells have been around for a bit, how are folks liking them?
They seem to be a little hot, but the ordinary bismuth loads from Kent are also 1300fps, so not exact low recoil either. |

Good to know. I ordered two boxes of the 5s to try on pheasants and wood ducks this fall. We値l see how they work. |

That is a tempting load. Should kill like a hammer if you can get a good pattern. I'll be real curious to know how they work out for you. |

At least the shipping was quick. I ordered yesterday late in the day, and I got a tracking number this morning. ETA this Friday.
I'll try to get them out and pattern them this weekend. |

Caleb, did you get the #3's or #5's?
I bought 100 Boss #5's that will get tested on opening day. Should be perfect in my IM choke, but I'm definitely intrigued by the #3s. |

I got the 5s. In retrospect, maybe I should have gotten one box of 5s and another of 3s.
I've usually been happy with #4 and #3 steel for pheasants and small ducks, so I was thinking 5s might be a close equivalent. |
