Default Geese & Challanger Shells

Found a store clearing out Challanger 3 inch shells at $9 per box vs $15 at Cabelas I have no experience with this ammunition Anyone here use it? Good, Fair or Poor?
They also have Remington 2 3/4 Hi Speed at $10 per box

I have used Challengers and they worked very well over the decoys

Default Challangershells

The cheaper ammo seem to work great early season but as the cold start to stay and the leather breasts reall group then move to a better shell or more engineered shell

I used Challenger 2-3/4" duck loads last year. I did not like the recoil or the smell of the burned powder. I still have a box and a half of the three boxes I bought to try them out.
