I decided before the season I would try a higher velocity shell (Remington Hypersonic) 1700 fps. I ended up using 2 boxes before going back to my ole reliables. I really like the idea of a faster fps but man was i leading the shite out of them so i swiched back to slower fps. i'll practice over this year and hopefully get the lead time down better.
anyone else try something new this year?
another question, someone told me to be careful of the higher fps shells because overuse will break/destroy the enside of your gun. anyone else hear this?

I switched from Kent's to federal blue box because they are slower and I was looking for less noise and recoil. Noticed no different in performance.
Next year I will be sticking to 2 3/4" steel only. The recoil and muzzle blast of 3" shells is more than I want and the shot payloads are the same for some shells.

I tried a box of the Winchester Blindside Hex shot shells this year when I couldn't find another box of Estates in the shot size I wanted. Was really impressed with them. I think I prefer them now.
I tried a box Black Cloud last year and could not seem to hit a duck with them.

Bought a new maxus and a pattern master so since I was spending money I tried some hevi metal 3 1/2 #2. Crunched the ducks. Very impressed I wish I could afford to shoot them everyday.
I know with a pattern master they don't recommend anything faster than 1500 fps.

I shot an equal number of Kent's and Remington Sportsmans and like the Remingtons much more.
This is what I'll be shooting next year.
