Second, I'd like to say I haven't tried products from either of these companies so this is most decidely not an endorsement. But these products look sufficiently interesting so that I will try quite a number of them. I'm referring to the heavier than standard slugs, different heavy buckshot loads, and the Tri-ball loads:

Dutchman01 I thought you might find a product here to meet your need with your dreilling loads! And last I noticed that this is quite a dated thread, but as it is still listed on the first page of the subforum it's on I thought y'all might not mind my replying!

Dave,

Welcome to the board. Hope you have a great time here. I don't think anybody minds you replying to a thread that is from September. Any information is good information, especially if it has not been covered yet. Sometimes, when I do google searches for hunting stuff, threads from this chatboard show up in the results. You never know who will be reading this information a year or two from now.

Hope you had a great season.

Thanks for the welcome fabsroman, I'm sure I'll enjoy participating and learning. And as I alluded to I'm looking forward to trying some of the different than standard loads listed by the two companies referenced in my earlier post, perhaps after some warmer weather.

If I don't forget I'll try to post the results of those trials here for others to check out as well, (maybe some pattern and accuracy results and if possible penetration as well).
