Like Drew said, those loads are a bit snotty and will beat you and the gun. I think B&P sells a 7/8oz load but at 1200fps. Of course there is always RST.

More manufacturers are coming out with lighter loads, even some 3/4oz stuff that is pretty nice.

Ya' know. with all this hullabaloo about lead poisoning, and lead in the environment (where it actually came from) at shooting ranges, the ammo companies are missing out on a huge marketing opportunity which would possibly keep them in business and allow us to continue to use lead shot at our target games. Quite simply start manufacturing shotshells with less shot in them promoting them as "eco light" loads depositing less lead in the environment. At least try to show the tree huggers they are promoting these lighter loads. Might not shut them up but it's worth a try.

I like the B&P and the Fiocchi. I tried ordering B&P yesterday and the place only had 2 boxes.
I’ve ordered from Natchez, and I like dealing with them, but I have to figure the almost 10% sales tax they have to charge to deliver here to Long Island.
Clays has been very good to deal with for 2 1/2” shells…
Was trying to see if something he had might work.
I’ll stick with the B&P - just hate to send in the sales tax:)

What shotgun are you shooting them in? What do you shoot on the Island?

Just sporting clays.
I have a Parker trojan, VHE, and GHE.
And English hammer gun where I use rst and B&P

Have you shot Brookhaven?

Clark McCombe 08-26-2025 10:32 AM

I’m pretty new - have only been to yaphank and invited once to Peconic

They throw nice targets at Brookhaven. I once was a member at Peconic for over 15yrs.
