winchester .12G #8 lead
Permalink  
 


Scrfed em up in a two for one/100 round box sale at Dick's.  THey cal them target loads but I don't think Ican shoot lead at my favorite range.

Just wondering if anyone has a thought on them.  They seem to pattern well through my Mossberg/choke combination. 

That is a 500 with a comp-n-choke modified at .20

Bulpup,,,,,,,, I can't print on the site what I think about the winchesters you are talking about. In other words less just say I have had horrible luck with them. Pattern and performanceno If they pattern well for you give them a try. But be advised just because they pattern well on paper doesn't mean they will pattern good or perform well in the field. I don't mean to bust any bubbles, but everything about that shell is low budget and cheap. That may explain the price. The wad is paper thin and most of the time you will find deformed wads on the ground after shooting a bunch. I have had several with bad primers, The cheap steel casings will crack, (somtimes cracked in the box). If you shoot a large volume of them you will see first hand what I am talking about. My advice is to spend an extra buck and hit what you shoot atbiggrin

great. 20 rounds of crap. Wouldn't have been a problem if my home ranges allowed lead. Oh Well.

 

Thanks for the info.
