Thoughts on Migra shotgun shells? 1/3 shot, are they worth the price?

They have a combo of shot so 1/3 means half is 1shot and half is 3 shot

Used them about 2 weeks ago, the 2/4 shot, no issues at all. Had never seen them prior to then, but now sitting on a couple boxes.

I am taking some clients to Arkansas later in the year, and could not find anything else in bulk. I had to get a few cases, they were not cheap by any means!

Not at all, think I paid almost $30 a box, but with nothing else available not too much of a choice.

Kills like all other steel shot of the same size and speed.

If you can get more of it buy it. Can’t be picky this year

This. I dont get the hype just because it's a hybrid of mixed shot size, other brands are doing that too at way cheaper price points for same conventional steel. So how is Migra putting more ducks on the ground than other offerings that are in some cases a lot cheaper?? Nothing really proprietary about what they're doing.

At 30 a box, same price just 50 more shells per case. When you account for the amount of cripple shots, I'd say you are about equal.

I'd agree that going to BOSS at a higher pellet count (due to smaller shot size, 5's) seemed to reduce my cripple shots, I'm not sure it's commensurate with the price disparity under pre-2021 pricing.

Then again, today's steel that used to be $18-$23 a box is now $25-$30+ for box of 25, so maybe it's actually a fairly close margin at current pricing.

Academy in Houston had a shelf full of the 2/4 shot earlier this week. At $30 a box for Migra, I'll stick to my Monarch 3's. Even those are $130/case now up 30-40% compared to last years prices.

The guys behind the gun shelf at Academy said they get shipments in Mon/Wed/Fri. It seems like Monday's have been the most consistent finding shells for me.

The only issue i've had was the brass on the shell stripped while ejecting b/c it was rusty. Never had that happen with any other shell

They shoot pretty dirty if I remember. I shot a case last year and went back to heavy metal. Have 2 cases of heavy metal, and will probably order a case of apex or boss again. Hard to find right now though.

Swung by the gun store on way home. They had very little selection but had some 12 gauge 3” #3 drylok for $32.99 a box Holy shite
