My favorite steel loads

[slugger]

My favored steel loads. I keep trying others as I find them but keep coming back to these. I shoot a 870 super express and they all Pattern very well with it. ONCE and a while I have one get stuck in the chamber and have to push it out with a stick but very seldom. I know most of them are on the top end but there worth the extra recoil and the occasional OOPS!!
