Do you do custom orders?

Yes, we do custom loads upon request. Just reach out to us and we will let you know if your custom request is doable. We will also discuss your options and answer any questions you may have.

Are Chenier Shotshells plated?

Negative. We do not plate or coat our shells with any other metals. We use the highest quality steel shot available. Plating shot is like a rotten peanut with a candy coating on the outside, hiding the imperfection of the core.

Do you make any blended shells? 

We do not blend any different types of metal into our shells. They are straight
steel shot.

What choke should I be using with Chenier Shotshells?

We like shooting a little bit tighter choke for pattern density. We recommend improved modified for shooting farther distances in shot sizes #4, #5, #6, and #7.

For shooting decoying birds light modified or modified is a great choice.

Can I use Chenier Shotshells in my old shotgun? 

No, we do not recommend using steel shot in older guns with Damascus barrels.

Contact us we may be able to load you ammunition for your older guns.

Do you have a Pro-Staff? 

No, we do not. We have a group of individuals who have been with us since the beginning to help
develop and test our product into what it is today.

What makes Chenier different than other shells on the market? 

We took the time to develop our product in the field. In real hunting scenarios not just by shooting paper or into jello.
