The boys brought a box home so we carefully cut one open. They sure aren't stacked in there like the ad's depict. Just another gimmic to sell something. Don't see how they would hold 15% more shot when they are dumped in the wad just like ANY other load.

just my thoughts

Ive had 2 DIFFERENT buddies try this blindside stuff and now theyre BOTH dealing with winchester as both there guns chokes broke... And when i say broke they split straight down the side and were a pain in the ass to get outta the gun..... Had another buddy try about 5 or 6 shells one hunt from one of these guys and now we cant even get his choke out....Take it for what its worth but BAD experience is all ive heard from these just like every other winchester shell............

I have shot experts most of the year and love them. There, now you have a good report.

I am still planning on getting the patternmaster blind side choke and some shells. I am just going to be smart about it.

With that said, I do think the whole "cubed" design is kinda hokey and wont be spending my money on it.

1400 FPS? That crap is slow too. With steel speed kills.
