I have also used the Blind Side and Black Cloud and I could not see that much more of a difference and do not believe the value is there for the money asked for it. In fact, after going through half the box of Blind Side on a hunt this year, I switched back to the regular shells and did better (I still have the remaining Blind Side in my backpack).
The gun I am shooting now is a Winchester SX3 with Invector-Plus extended chokes. |
FULL lead, or FULL steel? Full lead is not recommended for steel shot, and the patterns usually are not great at any constriction more than MOD lead.
