Guest cookoff013 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 just buy a #2 steel load. even if the speed is grossely overrated, the 2s will most certainly do something positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Depends on range and duck type no.2 Remington Nitro for longer shots at mallard and the like no.3 Gamebore 3" 36 grm mammoth for most any and all and Gamebore no.4 for widgeon / teal or any duck over shorter ranges. Choke 1/2 long range 1/4 short. Lightning steel I am being told are very good and fast enough to tackle duck well with smaller shot I am being told BUT I haven't personally tried them Some std English loaded shells in steel are frankly pants but will doubtless kill duck if your close enough, it just a case of how close you need to be. Patterning is important but far from the be all end all if it aint got the speed behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poontang Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Lightning steel I am being told are very good and fast enough to tackle duck well with smaller shot I am being told BUT I haven't personally tried them I have...and they are lethal. Best 3" steel shells I've ever used. Would definitely recommend them if you can get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 The Eley lightning are excellent and less than half the price of some of the competition . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
