Migra Ammunition

I'm searching for reviews on Migra Steel Shot. I wish to purchase a case, however wish to hear some reviews first.
Thanks!

I guess no Nutz have tried it. I found great reviews on YouTube. With duplex/stacked steel loads, patterns are most uniform with added velocity. Two downfalls, Migra had primer issues, however that has been corrected. Second issue is the cost, $50.00 per box
however, $45.00 per box if you purchase a case of 10; which I did yesterday.

I'm looking forward to hammering geese and ducks this year with these shotgun shells. I purchased the 12 gauge, 3", 2/3 steel size, 1 1/4 oz. at 1515 fps. When I get ready for the deer season, I'll check the velocity with my Garmin.

I haven’t seen that brand before. Have they been around long?

I believe for only 5 or 6 years.

Have you patterned these loads yet?

No, not yet, soon though. Opener is not until September 8th...........can't wait!

Score seems to pattern very well, is Canadian made and is a fraction of the price. I have cut open dozens of brands and score components look superior in most regards.

Challenger and Imperial are great Canadian shotgun shells as well, I still have many of them in stock. After viewing Migra on YouTube, I had to purchase a case. They are expensive but not like bismuth and tungsten.

What’s the benefit of Migra over the Canadian stuff?

The benefits are: better pattern, little faster velocity, stacked steel shot. The stacked shells I purchased are #2 & #3 shot, as viewed in the photographs, in a previous post.

It is however still steel shot. It's like tossing ping ping balls into the wind. It will not kill any further than any other steel shot.

I'm not looking for further distances, mosty consistent patterns and the stacked steel shot. However, I will try a long shot, as I do with other steel shot I use. Most of the waterfowl I shoot are over the decoys or stright above me.

I have shot 100s of patterns on paper. Small shot like 3s and 4s shouldn't be hard to find a good patterning shell for less. Score is good. In big steel shot it's a lot more difficult to find great patterns.

Score chronies at 1550. They were the best pattern I could get after extensive testing.

If the bird are right over the decoys, even out to 60 m most budget shells excluding Winchester garbage slag will do very well. The only difference I have found that was remarkable was the use of bismuth on late season greater Canadas. I have used score on Cranes over decoys and they have killed them reliably. Most of the higher priced shells market gimmicks. I have found with the volume of shells I shoot, I am happy with reasonably priced shells. Once you pattern and visually see the lack of difference between a 25 dollar box and a 50 dollar box it’s hard to justify.

With Challenger shells, I have experienced some stuck wads in my barrel and failure to extract issues.

Steel, bismuth, tungsten; I remember the good ole days of lead. Shooting 2 oz. lead out of a 3 inch federal premium was great punishment on geese, and the shoulder. Your points are correct, less expensive shells will do the job, been-there-done-that. Gimmicks, indeed, look at the 6.5 Creedmore.
