Last year I tried black cloud and didn't think they were anything to write home about.

My hit/miss rate isn't that great so I went ahead and bought Xpert for this year to give it a try. I got the 1550fps #2's. I can't afford to miss as much as I do and shoot the expensive stuff.

3.5 inch BBs at specklebellies. 3 inch 2s and 3.5 inch 2s for ducks. Probably using hevi-metal this season.

Do yourself a favor and get a good choke.

The chokes that came with my xtrema 2 pattern well, but I am looking at a Carlson set for christmas. Have you heard of them?

I've always been a fan of #4s and it doesn't really matter to me what brand just what ever is on sale.

I shoot a Briley Light Mod out of my Xtrema2, works well for all things regular duck season and geese. Usually shoot Xpert #2s or Kent #2 or #3. Sitting on a case of Federal UltraShock which is comparable to Winchester Drylock, got an awesome deal online. Bought a couple boxes of 3" #2 Blindside to try out just for kicks, I always like to try the new stuff to see if I notice any difference. I've yet to find anything reasonably affordable that kills more ducks than Xpert or Fasteel.

I was kidding, that is Federal's new shell. It's a lead version of the Black Cloud, imagine what that would do to a duck. I usually shoot Kent, or what ever is in my blind bag at the time (will not buy Xperts). If you want a choke, I highly recommend Kick's.

I have a Carlson, its okay, patterns better than my stock choke. Thinking of getting a kicks or pattern master though. I have some buddies that shoot them and they are devastating.

My buddy shoots a pattern master, they're great too. I've heard that the hevi shot chokes sling a really impressive pattern as well.
