I was wondering have any of ya'll used blackcloud ammo? I have been hearing about it on the hunting shows and was wondering. Thanks.

Don't waste your money. It's no different from winchester xperts (non-smooth pellets) and double the price.

I had 4 of 7 squib loads from the stuff last year (BB's), and a wad get stuck in my choke tube, costing me about 5 birds one day last season. Copiah Creek had the same problem on the same hunt with a different box. Glad it was a Christmas present and I did not pay money for that crap.

don't waste your money your just paying for his picture on the book and he only did it for the money but he would never admit it. pay me millions i'll endose anything too!

before those post I had heard nothing but good things. I'll let you know after this weekend in Arkie. I got a real good price on a case at the end of last year so I hope they are OK. I guess I will through in an extra gun and some different shells just in case.

It was alright to me...Just like another shell?? I would just as well have some Kent

I shot several boxes last year. I liked it personally, It seemed like worked pretty well, I am not the greatest shot and my friends will be the first to admit it, but with these shells I made some long mop up shots and killed the birds dead.

I cant say that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread or that it is any better than any other shells, but I liked it.

I dunno if it was any good or not, since I could not get the shells to go "bang."

Who forgot to tell him to pull the trigger!!!!


A buddy of mine got some last year and was HAMMERING ducks WAY OUT. He shot at a goose bout 100yds high, I was like no way in hell you hit that bird, he shot, we both heard THUMP, and the dam thing fell! Sold me on them, only thing is they are too dam expensive for my blood!!!!

best shell i have shot yet other than hevi shot. really like them. noticed a huge difference. just my 2 pennies

Had a guide in Tn tell me there was a problem with some chokes in combo with blackcloud???

The reversed wad in the black cloud shells were causing issues with some of the high dollar "wad stripping" chokes. The reversed wad defeated the purpose of a wad stripping choke, which there is no such thing. Patternmaster has added 1" to their tube length and now have a special black cloud choke for like $100.

Yeah the box actually says not to use chokes that are made to slow the wad down . Guess this would definitely rule out a Patternmaster seeing how thats exactly what they are supposed to do.
