AngelicFatum Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 My BIL shot a bunch through a regular benelli crio choke, I think mod, and it was ok I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Ive noticed that you have to put less of a lead on em with black cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeIsLegend Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've been using #3 blackclouds and been hitting them preddy hard, but I'm having the same experience as Sledneck. Compared to the fed prems I use to shoot. I've been putting out a longer lead. There are special chokes made for blackcloud ammo. I believe they had a longrange and a mid-range model. I would defiantly like to see how they perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledNeck Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Can u believe how much tungsten, bismuth and such is now?2 years ago I would buy boxes of the federal hardshot for like 18 bucks for 10 shells...now I see they are 35.00$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverrat56 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I shoot BC through my regular Mod Rem Choke, it does pretty well. I think that it is loaded with the "Flitestopper" pellets towards the back, so if you were a little behind the bird would get a full load of the pellets with the cutting edges, at least thats what seemed to happen to that teal this morning.... One complaint I have is that the BC shells are harder to eject and more prone to jamming in my 870 than Kent or Winchester shells, but I like to load up with #2 BC as my 3rd shot and use FastSteel for the first 2 so it isn't a huge deal.
