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 bought 2 cases of federal blue boxes online for a damn good price

I was pretty happy with results and will probably stick with them based on price

Less than a hundred a case is a damn steal

Cause you're shooting Benelli's and Stoegers.

ETA: In the end, it doesn't really matter. Just be consistent and get some relatively high FPS shells. I shoot Kent's SilverSteel and I like em. A good read/article in the last Delta Waterfowl magazine about the latest improvements and changes in duck loads.

Brother and I decided to swap to Kent shells from Winchester, and stick with them all season so we would know if somebody else hunted out blind on the lease.

They worked out pretty well actually, we both liked them.
