John, is that a special order? I don't see any 1200 fps loads listed on their website. |

I've been shooting the #7 16ga for chukar and huns out of my citori and I think they are great loads. I hope they will make some 16 loads in #6 for next season for a more general purpose load for sharpies, etc. |

When I called Boss the girl mentioned that they had loaded the shells earlier and had not listed them. She said they still had some if I wanted to order a flat of 100! I was so eager to say yes I don’t even know what they are going to cost, but they should be on the way! |

Putz, those 1350 fps 5's have always been there.
We're talking a 1200 fps load with a fiber wad. |

I ordered a 100round flat of the #5s two weeks ago from them. They shipped the next day. Disappointment set in when I opened the box and the hulls were red and not purple. I plan to field test them on some woodies over the next few weeks. These are 1350 fps loads. I did not know they offered a 1200 fps loading. |

I just got off of the phone with Sarah at Boss. She confirmed they do have a 1200FPS fiber wad 16ga bismuth load. Both #3 and #5 shot are in stock.
Incidentally, I asked about 12 ga too. They also have a 1250FPS fiber wad load in #3, #4, and #5.
All of these are sold by the case, not box. I ordered some of the 16s. Same price as their 1350 FPS 16 ga loads. |

That's tempting. 1350 fps is more than I want to ram through my AyA.
Thanks for checking. |

Whoops, sorry about that. That #3 load looks very interesting for Quackers.... |

Not certain. It could be either 1-1/8 or 1-1/4 oz. Give them a call. They will answer the phone and that is refreshing in this age. |

Stop it with your logic. Only #6 has the magical properties needed to keep the yips at bay... |
