I've been shooting the 16 ga. F2 Classic from B&P for a couple years in 6, 7 & 8 shot and have had good results. They have been very clean burning and preform well.
We'll since I have never purchased from B&P direct before, I'll withhold judgement on that.
Maybe Zeb could share his experience with dealing direct.
Either way I was just curious about this load as it seemed like a good load for preserve birds in a #6. The MB Long range would be my choice in B&P for wild birds.
I'm also looking at Estate. They have a heavy game load (hard shot). This is similar to the old flyer load, except 6's instead of 7½. 3¼ dram - 1¼ oz. #6 at 1220 fps.
I've bought multiple cases from them on-line. Easy to do, great shells and they show up in only a couple of days. I used the 2.5" heavy pheasant loads exclusively last year and had great luck!:cheers:
