    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    That's all I used to use years ago, whatever was the cheapest on sale at Walmart. Then one year I noticed I was hitting A LOT of birds that kept on getting it. I could hear the pellets hitting the birds but they were toting them off. It got to the point that I shot at a bird sitting on a line and again, I could hear the shot hit the bird and knock some feather off and he flew off. I'm sure it was a bad batch of shells because I had never really had a problem before from then on I spent a little more money on good shells. S&B were the best I ever shot but they quit selling them, or at least they quit showing up in Cabela's catalog.

    Every shotgun shell ever made that reaches design velocity within standard deviation will outperform the best shooters in the world on every shot. I said all that to point out the obvious - you just can't shoot for shit. And there are many like you.

    Soft shot-low powered shells(less than 3 dr equiv) in 12 ga can cause that. Step uip to a higher quality shell with HARD shot pushed by at least 3 dr's of powder and the right choke(I shoot modified) your percentages will go up..........I've saw this happen on the skeet field.

    Last year R-10's shot a whole lot cleaner than years past.
    They are my closest available source locally...
    Good shells IMO but so are many others.
