![]() The WW load I have been using is still about $8.00 a box. The Hevi13 and newer Winchester and Federal loads run about $30 per box and I pace myself on buying shells I may not like after two or three shots. I haven't played with the newer Winchester or Federal Extended Range loads but will before the fall 2006 or spring 2007 seasons. I've since found a shell that patterns better (Hevi 13 from EnivornMetals) but it hasn't been "bird tested" by me personally and the shell I patterned has been changed and doesn't seem to be any longer available. See - you probably already have too much information. I use both an aftermarket choke (Kick's) and a 2.5 Weaver Scope on my 870 Express with a 24" cantilever barrel. I got into this hunt for the perfect load and pattern stuff several years ago and settled on the Winchester High Velocity 3" shell that throws 1 and 3/4 oz of #5 shot. You'll get an overload of opinions but some good info. If you want to see this subject discussed in depth try the NWTF Message Board Forums (Shotguns/Shooting).
