I've never bought them when they were $60 or more. From the time I started buying them it seems like they were pretty consistantly around $55. A few years ago I picked up a like 5 flat's at $46....they were the classic game 1 1/16oz but they were still pretty good. Still have a flat of those...I mostly use them on clays now.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

maybe ya'll guys should just hit the shooting range more often, the super x loads in my 12g beretta auto and 20g browning sxs kill doves dead all morning long....haha
these are decent shells. there all I can afford since I shoot 6,000 rounds a year. only thing I've ever had go wrong with them is one box last year had a shell that was crimped so hard the plastic bent to where I couldnt load it. other than that no problems

My Berreta has no issues with them, but the Yildez and 870 both ahve a problem with the metal expandinf too much and hanging in the cylinder for a few additional seconds due to expansion. I prefer the Dove Heavy Loads myself, seems to knock the far ranging birds better. Now for skillet shots, these would be cheaper I guess.....

I just bought 10 boxes at DICKS for 69 bucks and am sending in the $2 per box rebate which will make it 49.
Oh yeah and I printed off a Dick's coupon for $10 off, so I'll end up paying $40 for the case. Thinking about buying 20 more boxes tomorrow.

I thought it was Sunday. Give them a call. I picked up 4 cases. I may go get more. Sometimes they go even cheaper.
