i,m not a super fast shooter and break most birds at about 32-35 yds from the 16yd line and a few past 40yds and those shells smoked them when i was on. useing the cheap federal walmart loads i have shot a 25-25,50-50,74-75 and ended up with a 97-100. the three i missed would not have been broken with any kind of shot what so ever, be they gold, silver, copper or nickle plated shot. i,m going to buy a few more boxes of the spanish shells and try them again. by the way where in the hell do you shoot 130yds at any clay games? . eastbank.
