What shells are you shooting these days?

I have access to Winchester Super Target light 8s, heavy 8s and Federal promo heavy 7-1/2s and 8s...

My personal, hand crafted, published recipe reloads.

I only shoot AA and Nitro’s. I do not shoot the steel base shells.

I don’t like shooting steel base shells. I would rather shoot my AA reloads. I try
to shoot new shells from Handicap in competition.

Federal Top Guns and Winchester Super Targets which I purchased at Walmart spring of last year before they raised prices. These are used for singles and doubles, I use Winchester Super Handicaps from the fence, bought 15 flats earlier this year.

Top guns or gun clubs, I buy sts's and nitros here and there too

Seems like Walmart has a lot of our business…

I’m relatively new to the sport, why do you avoid steel based shells?

I'm shooting my reloads gun clubs and a light 1oz on AA and factory clever and gamebore for helice

Winchester AA's ...... shot Federal for 50 years....no more.... owned by the tree huggers and libs. they are the next Bud Lite.

AA’s, Nitro 27’s, B&P Comp One’s & F2 Mach.
Also ARMUSA and reloads for practice.

Ok, let's see. Normally, I shoot, pretty much the best "deal" I can get. A new D&B (local) store opened and has a really good selection of "promo" shells (mostly Top Guns and Fiocchi) for under $10 a box. On Tuesdays they give me a dollar off per box (senior discount). I also reload. Back in "the day", I had, pretty much, one load, and that was all I needed. Now, I've got, literally, 5 different powders (I take what I can get),that I can't, no matter how I try, find a recipe that actually matches what I have to reload (only primers I've been able to buy in, probably 4 years is Cheddite). On the bright side, things have definitely been getting better.

Federal Field and Target are all we've been able to buy here for some time.

My reloads with my homemade #8 shot.

Same here - primarily my reloads.
I will occasionally buy new AA's or STS's as I like those hulls for reloading

How are the ARMUSAs? Have been seeing them around a bit.

AAs for singles, handicap, and doubles.

Reloads here, haven't been able to find boxes of shells cheaper than what I can reload them for so far
