Try going up that much if you previously shot geese with bb before the switch It's very hard to buy BBB in steel let alone t shot etc In practice it's bb or 1 in factory Duck? Think it fair to say most used 5 or 6 in lead flighting many used 7 over flashes and deeks so in that respect correct except they used an ounce in the main The norm now is 34 - 36 though I did rather well with as light as 24 in a 4 from some imports one needs to find what works for them on thier venues then stick to it I do know a guy who shoots Allah's duck and a few geese with light steel clay loads. BTW he takes more duck each year than anyone else I know - works for him and that the important bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that you can kill cleanly with 3mm , 3.3mm steel , and I have no problem using it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
