In my humble and rather ignorant opinion, Blind Side is a gimmick. Square pellets will never fly as well as round pellets. My brother shot these in waterfowl season for two seasons and the shots to kill ratio were high. When he switched to higher quality non-tox loads, his success increased drastically. If you're going to shoot steel, the standard Kent Fasteel is hard to beat. If you want to spend more money on shells for waterfowl, put it towards softer and better patterning/energy carrying non-tox shells like bismuth or tungsten. When one shot will drop a duck instead of 2 or 3, you'll be saving money in the long run.

Again, just my opinion and respect anyone else's...
