Default Challenger VS Winchester

Which brand of shells you like most? BB will be the shot size, Challenger VS Winchester?

Winchester is a much better shell from what I've seen

Depends on the gun, pattern it and see what it likes. I can say I have had numerous FTE`s with Winchester`s but non with Challengers

Depends on the gun and shooting style. From what I have seen the Winchester Experts spread out a lot more with a lot of flyers in most guns. The Challenger seems to throw a denser pattern with more energy. My Benelli throws absolutely devastating patterns with a Code Black Goose and Challenger #4 in 1-1/4 oz. Challenger shells also smell a lot cleaner then Winchester Experts and the Challenger’s have consistently rounder shot in my experience.

And now you have added another factor, the choke.

I haven't patterned challenger's in my benneli sbe2. But for skeet and trap shooting they are a very good shell our club sells alot and I think I only seen one crushed crimp and no ftf. They use a clean powder as well.
