I Stopped in Gander- Minnetonka the other day looking at shells and found the new Federal Speed-Shok and Ultra-Shok. the Speed-Shok,12 ga, 3" 1 1/8 #2's w/ muzzle velocity @ 1550 FPS, were on sale for 9.99 box, buy a case for 99.90 and get a 30 dollar rebate. Not only a good deal on steel, but with the improved velocity, I for one, hope to have a better kill rate. According to a different HSOforum, these shells should be like shooting lead @ 40 yards and less, or that's how I read it, I may be wrong....

I tried the Fasteel last year and was very pleased with the performance. The price is good and I didn't have any problems. I plan on buying a case of it for this fall.

I shot the Faststeel all last year and had good luck with it. My mom, yes my mom, hunts with us and she never hits anything. Until last year with the faststeel, she actually killed 10 for the year, about 9 more than usual. But one of my buddies shot it and hated it, he thought it didn't kill anything. Just depends on the shots you're taking and where you hit em. Godd luck

I shot it last year and can tell you that it is the only shells that will go in my gun as long as they are made! They flat out KILL!

[IceHawk]

I'll give another thumbs up for the fast-steel. I shot the 3 inch 3 shot last year, knocks the mallards silly. This stuff is fast, and its sold at a reasonable price.

If you all have not tried Winchester Supremes you should. They pattern great and kick like a mule. That tells me that there is plenty of powder(or good powder) in these shells. They are worth the price.

Now before we go bashing shot, we need to know what type of gun this guy is using. Ill only shoot Beretta or Beneli, the BEST shot guns EVER made. Also, steel shot is JUNK! Tungsten is the only way to go! That stuff will kill at ranges most guys cant even hit. I know its spendy, but if you only hunt a few times, its well worth the money. Last year I hunted 50 out of 60 days for ducks, 30 for roosters, and about 15 early/late Goose. That is no B.S. I have been lucky, the last 2 years, I have been layed off starting at the end of Sept. So I hunt almost every day, it has done wonders for my soul, and my dog. I still have 100 rounds of tungsten left for this fall. I cant wait. Usually I start to buy the stuff in June, a couple of boxes a week, that kinda makes it easier to afford. Even though Ive hunted so much the last 2 years, I havent gone through that much ammo. Its hard, but I have been working my dog, so Ill limit my shooting. If I drop one on the 1st shot, then Ill let the rest go. The dog needs the time, and I can kill birds later. Anyway, thats my 2 cents worth. Thanks and GOOD SHOOTIN J Rookie K.

Shot Faststeel all of last season as well. Had no problems and killed plenty of birds. I'll use it again.

Don't let them Faststeel get wet!
Last year my son shot some faststeel that wasn't very fast! When he pulled the trigger the shell made a poof sound and the pellets barely went 10 feet from the barrel. Man were we laughing at that. The next flight of ducks we just watched him shoot and sure enough his gun went foof and the pellets hardly came out of the barrel. This time we were all on the ground laughing! He took the barrel off the gun to see if the barrel was clear, nope it wasn't. Had to find a stick to remove the wad and gross amount of unburned powder. Just don't let them Faststeel get wet or they won't be very fast for sure! We used the rest of his shells as rocks to show my dog where the ducks were laying amongst the decoys! Good Luck!

Thanks for the input on the Faststeel, I'll probably buy a box or 2 just for S&G's. I got a buddy I hunt with that shoots Tungsten and MAN! reminds me the goods old lead days. My only problem is that I'm cheap and cring everytime I pull the trigger - there goes a dollar, and another and another etc.(haha)

If your the type of person who decoys the birds in close faststeel is the best steel shot ever made. I shot #2 at geese all year and had few cripples. It seems that they lose their speed out from 30 yards. So dont sky bust and you'll love em.

pass shooting sucks!!
