Well, I'd take ten bismuth 'cause it'd wipe out my IRAs to buy THAT.
Yeah, exaggeration of course, but I ain't a billionaire.
Picked up some Winchester hi speed as that was all they had yesterday. Will see how it shoots Thursday.
The one problem I have with Winchester is it sticks in the chamber on occasion. 2 3/4" not so much, but 3" drives me crazy. My chamber has been polished, too. I know folks with other brands of shotguns that have problems with the Winchester ammo. I seem to do okay with the 2 3/4", though, just the 3" that gives me fits. And, at least the stuff is available...and cheap. I MUCH prefer Kent when I can get it. There's a little tackle shop in Rockport, Texas, when I can get down there, that carries it or I can order it. Stuffs rare is small towns that are dominated by Walmarts. I could get it in Corpus, of course, but we're moving up to a small town near Eagle Lake (Goose hunting capital of the world
...self proclaimed). There's a Bass pro up in Katy about 80 miles away, might pick it up there, occasionally, and there's a Gander Mountain over in Sugar Land about 80 miles, an Academy down the road in Victoria about 60 miles. Hell, I might end up handloading home made black powder before it's all said and done.
But, there's always Winchester HiSpeed down at the Wallyworld in Hallettsville if I get desperate and it shoots just as well. Just stick to the 2 3/4" in MY gun and I'm okay. The 2 3/4" is all I need, reaches out past 40 yards, 50 or so being probably the edge of effectiveness with modified choke.
