I will let you know. We have previously used Kent 3" going as fast as hell in #2 shot, and some Federal I managed to find. Both shotties cracked parts by the end of the year (Rem 1187 - never had a problem before). This year I have gone for Falcon 3" in #4 for first shot, followed by Falcon 3" in #3 shot-both 1-1/4oz at 1450fps. We shoot on a large lagoon, so I will be interested to see how it goes. I reckon it will be the ducks nuts!!!!!!!!:
