We give most of it away to our Hunters.

You can have all the Blackcloud you want that stuff just is not that great. Personally have 6 experiences with Blackcloud not opening out of the wad...

4 on a pattern board
1 on a duck with a huge hole through is chest
1 on a water swat

I have 6 or 7 boxes you can have, that is how bad that stuff is. There is no way I am giving it to my hunters to use...

I had a Blackcloud wad get stuck in my barrel. Needless to say, my hunt was over and that's the last time I ever shot that garbage. Search the Internet for reviews on that stuff. There are numerous reports of different problems with it.


Live to hunt, hunt to live.

I usually shoot Hevi but tried a few boxes of blackcloud last year. I didn't have any wads get stuck heaven for I'd but I did shoot several ducks some water swats that didn't go down and flew off. If a shell can't put the bird down when there's no doubt I missed it ain't for me. I stick with my trusty Hevi Metal.

what size barrel for my mossberg 500 would be good for duck hunting? I've never been before and would love to go sometime.

28 would be best with an IC, or C choke. I like the BlackCloud Chokes made by Carlson in CLOSE..

Depends where and how your hunting, open water with lots of room to move and maybe a few longer shots 28". In a boat blind or timber or somewhere you will be moving the gun a lot a 26" can be better.

Choke depends on shot size and shot distance and size of ducks you are shooting.
