3 inch. Representative at Boss stated that for my rice blind, shooting small and medium size ducks, that the 50 extra pellets was better. Also, $30 less per case than 2&3/4 shells.

Please report on the 7's on teal.

#7 steel works on teal and doves if they are less than 30 yards. I much prefer #6 steel for both small birds.

Trialed a case of 2 3/4" Boss #5's last year with seemingly good results. (Seemed) to reduce my crippled birds, really like the pattern density of #5's.
Couple of observations of note:
Had a couple rounds that had bad crimps, and didn't exactly feel like Boss was wanting to do anything about those. My thought was that it's a boutique shell producer, you shouldn't let a bad crimp get out the door.
And second, I noticed a fair bit of fragmentation of the copper plated rounds in the breast cavity of ducks. I'd much prefer the pellets stay intact.

I had that, too with lots of loose bb’s in my case.
Did anyone else have a problem with BOSS shells not firing? I had a couple of the teal shot not fire during teal season, but I know a couple of people that they had lots of problems with them not firing. One with a 20 and one with a 12.

Wow first I'm hearing of that, and its of course unacceptable at that price point. I get that they turn out "a lot" of rounds, but nowhere near the mass production of the big names.

I have heard some people had experienced ftf with some. Most cases were light primer strikes from a gun with a weak hammer spring or dirty bolt. I will try a case and see how they work out. From advance prices I see on steel, the days of $10 to $12 steel shells are not likely soon. Rogers usually is hard to beat. Their website shows no inventory and prices are $5 to $7 more per box than last year.

A guy I know was on a guided duck hunt last year with his wife. Her Beretta 20 wouldn’t shoot the boss shells. He brought it right to a gunsmith who said the gun was fine. Shot 3 different brands through it, but wouldn’t fire the Boss.

Not doubting you. I bought a case to try. If they give problems, back to steel.

These ducks yall talk about... where might one be able to find said ducks? Did not know they existed in Louisiana.
