Steel shot

I've been invited to go goose shooting which is something I've never done before. I have a beretta 303 semi but its only 2 3/4" so was wondering what the best goose loads are in that size? Thanks.

As a one off, I'd go for Eley Bismuth in 1's. You are looking at around £25 per box of 25.

 

At least this way you don't have to worry about steel proofing or chokes

Yes, although after just looking on the Just Cartridges site and the Eley Hawk site, they don't do a 2 3/4" in 1's just 3's and 4's. :no:

 

ITM/TMX/hevi-shot are bloody expensive and from looking at the comprehensive list linked below, RC and Bornaghi are the only steel in 2 3/4" that come in 1's, and you'll want big steel pills for geese. I use steel in my 3" non steel proofed magnum, choked 1/4 & 1/2 but that is my personal choice.
