Estate IS a good shell.

Of course you know it's a Federal product. The first run of that stuff was smokey and dirty. They learned quickly.

It's currently the best available 'promo' load, at least in 12 gauge in my opinion.

Last test results I saw indicate they use about 3.5% Antimony shot.

Gun Clubs are about 2%. The 'old' Herter's were 1% (essentially chilled shot).

I won't buy Winchester anything, except AA and that usually only in 410 because I want the hulls. Winchester Universal is pretty crummy stuff.

I'm sure Federal would love to hear about those 'all over the place' shells. That's contrary to the experience of nearly everyone else. Federal makes good consistent ammunition in my experience, even in the lower priced line.
