Just a PSA, boss is opening up the books for pre order with the supplies they know they have. It's been stated that next years ammo situation will be the same as this year. So the suggestion is to buy now before it's too late and you're having to ride the struggle bus trying to find ammo for the 22-23 season.

I bought from Boss last year great customer service, and the shells worked like any good shell should

We shot through a whole case of BOSS 20g. this year. So Ill be reordering for sure. Just wont wait til right before hunting season to do it.

We bought a pallet of 20 gauge (96 cases) we're good for a bit.

Yep, I've heard prices will be going up, there will continue to be a run on ammo and we can continue to expect shortages.

Already bought my (4) cases of 12 for next years ducks. Contemplating on some cases of BB for goose.

Boss #2 or #3 will give you the same results as steel BB.

Since my sporting clays is down to once/month or so, I'm good for Dover, Quail, and clays for a couple of years. I need to pick up some #6 and #4s ...we got caught flat footed in SD back in November.

Time to get it now,because most people wait till the last minute.

hand loads again for me

That’s what I hear. I plan to try a case or two this year.

Cabelas online has some kent in stock. Just ordered a case of #4's.
I ordered 2 cases of boss last summer, did t shoot 1 shell of it this past season. Kent's just seem to always get the job done for me.

Emails from Rogers said they have duck loads.

Was at academy this past weekend and they had winchester drylok 12ga 3" for $35 a box. No thanks

Id be suprised if we can find shells for less than $25 a box next fall.

Well see what lead cost, that may significantly impact my clay shooting this offseason.

Heavy Shot 6s 1.25 20Ga. Best load on planet. Period. Mid Range Cremator Choke

Hevi shot is junk, and there's all kinds of facts to back that up

I need to place my Black Cloud order

I will agree with you that "Heavy Metal" is not what they hype it up to be. True "Hevi-Shot" is a very good shell. They say its heavier than lead so my guess is they are using something similar to ITX13. However, i will argue that any of these bismuth/lead products should be chokeed imp mod/full with a standard constriction choke and not a wad stripping choke similar to pattern master.

Just got some APEX S3 in #4. Anyone have experience with it?

On the waiting list for another case of Boss 20g. 3"#5.

How do you like them?

I dont shoot the 20 often but was thinking of picking up a case just cause.

I haven't, I've heard it's good for steel, but it's still steel.
You'd be better off with boss #5. A denser pattern and better long range knockdown

I don't shoot #5, but I shoot 4's. The 20 gauge is all I use, and we mainly hunt geese and crane. I smoked a greater Canada on the lazy day of season at 30 or so yards I run the Carlson's bismuth extended range choke.

I suppose Boss shells do a fine job of killing based on reports on this forum, but so does steel and you or anyone else isn't going to change my mind on that front. I've seen a lot of birds drop from steel. I've heard all the arguments before so no need to bring them up here. I like that Boss is trying to better the game and a once little guy / start up is making a way in a very competitive market. Its good for all of us in a way.

Does anyone have experience with Apex they would like to share?
