    Ohh this is going to go and go and go.....

    I like #3's....

    Kent, 2 3/4" 1 1/4oz #3's are my pick if I can get them!

    That being said, I have used Blended for the win...on a number fo ocassions...

    I have never had much luck with Kent's, they jam in my guns. I prefer Winchester xpert #3's

    I to like Kents...I have had good luck and consistency with them for all but 1 batch of them that I had. #3 for ducks and a #1 for geese.

    I to have used many different brands, including the good ol' Xperts, my biggest factor was the speed, if its not 1500fps, then I shy away from it.

    Its funny, I used to pay extra for duplex shells with a mixture of 2 shot sizes in them, when all I had to do was shoot Xperts...

    Sunday ehh...I like your odds Ian!!!

    I wouldnt give you 2 cents for kents, Winchester cheap reds kill $hit just fine for me. I also use Federals and Remington 1550s
