  • Monarch shotgun shells

    Picked up a box to try. Worth a damn or not?

    Yes, I shot a case at doves last year, no issues.

      Not fond of their steel. Lacks punch.

        Well it’s about all that is on the shelves in a lot of places. The other readily available ammo is migra. Twice the cost and not a fan.

        No idea what powder they use, but the guys that shoot it early in the mornings are easily distinguishable by the large fire blasts at the muzzle.

          They go bang and it's easier to find your spent hulls.

          I killed shit with them a couple of yrs ago.

            They are OK. If the birds are in range & you do your part they kill.

              Dove loads work fine but I assume you are asking about the steel shot loads. They are usable if you are patient and pick your shots.

                Yes, steel shot 3" 4's, 1550 fps.

                Got'em at the College Station Academy. They had a good many of just those. And a few 20 gauge. 3 boxes of Winchester 2's & 2 boxes of expensive Kent's.

                  I bought 10 boxes myself at the Sherman Academy. I got a moment of panic few weeks a go and wasted 600 on Boss. Will not be water swatting cripples with those. Course that will my buddies cripples cause they all bought Monarch. Boss kills em dead dead.

                    I panic bought an entire case of that new Browning Wicked Blend. Kinda glad now that I did.

                      Are those Monarchs the old Expurts that got re-branded?

                        Academy brand.

                        Like Magellan, Game Winner, H2O Express, etc.

                        They source the shotshells from different factories, but most of it comes from Rio.

                              No idea, never shot Boss shells before, that’s an exact quote from whoever I talked first time I tried to order. I was hoping you or maybe AQ could explain it.
