I would just look at rodgers sporting goods online. And don't buy xperts. Federals or kents can be at the door for 120$-130$

We got a case of Federals from Rogers for $99.99-
Federal Speed-Shok Steel Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3", 1 1/8 oz
We went with the 1 1/8oz because the are faster (1550) than the more expensive 1 1/4 oz.
Pop's also got some 3 1/2" for myself. Might as well, my gun can shoot them and I am usually cleaning up what the boys leave behind for me.
These have worked very well for us.

if you cut open a expert shell you can see the shot is tear drop,oval,pointed and different sized..it looks like welding slag...common sence will tell you that it's not going to pattern very well..have i used it--yes... did it kill ducks--yes,most of the time..i did notice alot of otw follow up shots..and then someone showed me what the shot looked like vs good shot.now i won't use it

Best bang for your buck is RIO Blue steel...gota buy it by the case but its very cheap and is good quality ammo

Well I went to BPS yesterday and got a Kicks Choke(High Flyer). I shot a Kent 3" #4 threw the Kicks and had 187 holes n a 30" circle at 40 yards. Shot the same shell threw the factor choke and had 162 n a 30" circle at 40 yards. Today I shot a Expert 3" #4 threw the Kicks choke and had 149 holes n a 30" circle at 40 yards. Shot the same shell threw the factor choke and had 141 holes n a 30" circle at 40 yards. The Kent shells n my opinion r the deal.

In answer to your question - www.cheaperthandirt.com has deals on shells. And BTW, Xperts will still kill a duck, and a good dog will fetch a cripple
