if you are comparing that against a non-tox Hevishot load as far as price is concerned...you are not comparing apples to apples

I have opted to use a mod choke especially in the late season when the shots are somewhat further...I have settled on using HS Pheasant 4's

I am not a steel fan in the slightest.....I am much more content with paying more money for a premium shell. I just feel like it makes complete sense when you compare the actual number of days that I get to hunt....

title says it all....if you have things you do not use anymore and want to get rid of

I agree that using a 20 gauge is greatly enhanced when you use loads like Hevishot. The density is provides increased killing range and power. It is just more effective

I just do not like steel. It is simply not nearly as effective as other options are. That is why I prefer the Hevishot shells

I am a 26" guy as well. It is a comfort and easy of handling issue for me

Lead is indeed NASTY and the lasting effects are real. I do believe eventually the hunting world will be a NON-toxic world.

It is amazing how many SEIZED chokes I see at our duck club. Most of the chokes have been left after the gun got soaking wet and virtually rusted inside the gun. Choke tube lube saves a great deal of headache in that regard

What I have found is that you actually save money by using a BETTER shell in the long run. For example, if you shoot a duck and merely WING HIM and are forced to shoot one or two clean up shots to finsih him are you really saving money when you MIGHT have been able to cleanly take him with one...

3" for sure for me......I have been using some Hevimetal 3" 4's and simply waxing them with them

I do not prefer a sporting gun due to it's length and weight...just my opinion mind you

I don't want to use STEEL for ANYTHING hunting related

I have been looking at the Franchi Instinct Line and not sure which I should get between the L and SL models.

I think the point of the OP was that the place he was/is hunting is going to be a non-tox area the next hunting season. So, lead will not be allowed. I also have used the HM 3" shells in #4's and loved their performance....
