They're way too dirty and the banded pellets shred ducks at close range. They also don't pattern worth a shite out of my gun (Benelli SBEII).
Don't waste your money. If you're going to shell out money on shells, buy Hevi Metal and don't look back.

I buy them when I can't find Rem nitros. Don't know about the dirt, i think most of the steel shells are dirty. But as others have said, pattern the gun and see what works best in your gun.

Not worth the extra $$$ imo
I'll take some Kent fast steel or dryloks over black cloud.

Why skimp on shells when you only need 10-12 a hunt? That's like buying no named rifle cartridges for a trophy deer hunt.

Agree but I don't think buying the shells I mentioned are skimping. They're just right IME. I've found no advantage in terms of knock down power or pattern with the black cloud.

I'm just messing with you. Although not a fan of Kent, but I would say that about most brands, they don't pattern well in my gun and I know which ones do and i don't deviate.

lol Was hoping you were kidding bout the 10 shells per hunt.

Oh, that part wasn't a joke.

Who wants to clean my SBEII? It hasn't been cleaned in two years.
Hell I live right down the road from you I'll clean it baw. I already clean all of one of my friend's guns because he has no idea how to break down a gun of any sort. Dont know why but I like cleaning guns for some reason.

I'm going to see how long it'll go before it starts hanging up. Before that it had been about 6 years.

Think of them like a high dollar whore. You're going to spend way too much money and come out very, very dirty.

I shot the 3.5's at geese in a clean browning gold, after about 1.5 boxes they started hanging, they leave a "black cloud" in your gun... I shot the rest of the case through my xtrema with no problems. IMO I don't think they are any better than the Drylock's
