I have been shooting Rio Blue Steel and I love them they are cheap, but they have a special loaded 3" with 1-5/8oz. They are deadly shot a shoveler this past season at about 50 yards and she was stone cold dead!!!
I shot the new HEVI-METAL this past season and the stuff is awesome. I shoot 3" #3's and will be shooting them again this season, give them a try. As far as how many shells you should take.... I would take at least 3 boxes. Not that you will ever need 75 shells to kill 18 ducks... or at least I hope not, lol but i always like to be well prepared and like knowing i have them there.
If your shooting decoying ducks the experts will work. I perfer Kent 3-1/2 #2's them SOB's are deadly on Specks too. Two of us shot our limits with them last yr in about an hour and never had to chase a goose. Killed about 8 snows stone cold dead with them to. With the heavy metals, I agree that they are good shells for the most part, but I know of a buddy that had them jam in his SBE becasue the metal casing was bigger then the plastic. On one occasion it caused a misfire, and if there was not great gun handling by the user, it could have caused some problems. I witnessed the shells jamming more than once.
if huntin the flooded timber just about any 3 in. shell will do the job. that is some awsome huntin who u booked with?
