I scored 4 cases for 10$ a box on the Rodgers sale. :thumbsup: 12's that is though.
Once again you find it necessary to remind me of your good deal on FPs.

Curious PheasantWhisperer bout comment of purple everywhere? Do you meand seeing hulls on ground? Hope not, find it irritating when others don't pick up their emptys...plus why would you wanna tip off to others where the birds are?
I like the Rem Nitros, my most memoriable pheasants was due to a Nitro-mag #4. I am not against the big three for shells (Fed, Rem, Win) but have discovered over past few yrs there are other shells out there just as good maybe a touch better. If for more then anything they offer slightly different choices i.e. RST and B&P offer a #7 shot. This seems to be the cat's meow as the second shot when hunting woodcock/grouse and the first shot when in an area of quail/pheasants.
Another thing I have found in the past 2 years are the shells made by RIO, who just opened a new factory in TX. Already their shells are very competative price wise roughly $6-9 25rd box and if you look at reviews on sites like Cabellas guys seem to really like their performance. I myself have been pleased, used their steel shot in SD this past DEC and birds dropped dead in a 20ga.
One other thing- my brother that same trip had 3" high velocity steel shot factory loads (13-1400 fps) and noticed difficulty with ejecting the rounds out of his pump. Gun was not dirty and had no issue if he switched to a lower velocity shell. I had a simulair issue with 3" HV steel years ago in IA in my O/U. Either the 2nd barrel would not fire or there was resistance with opening the chamber. I wonder if the HV shells are getting too powerful for current gun actions? HV shells also really rattle the fillings in my teeth.

its means no trespassing leased or not. winchesters and fiocchis. 10Oh so purple means it is leased, is that MO state law or custom? You won't find much leased land in the upper part of MI, I think downstate there is more of it as the deer are bigger down there and much more private land, most land here is leased for deer vrs birds.
If you have not been to MI before you will be surprised at the amount of state land available when you come in OCT. Would be nice to have more choices in game birds vrs woodcock and grouse...but they are fun to hunt.
My new favorite color is a lime green for the B&P 16ga shells I use, they are the #7 shot I mentioned...

Crossing Shot- what was the breakdown of the shells that you bought as reloads with such a reported good performance? Not trying to sound incredulous but curious because have heard of other handloads that guys have tweeked...cannot recall the details but there is a guy who writes the shotshell articles for Shooting Sportsman and few issues ago published recipes to make some highly effecient pheasant loads using non-toxic (not steel shot). I am not sure my reloading skills are up to the challenge of making loads i would wanna depend on when out hunting....
