Default Do I need better shells?

This fall was my second year duck hunting, i really love it, but i have a problem, if i wound a duck the thing will dive down and i can never find it. I hate doing this because it sounds very un-sportsman like. I believe i was using federal ultramag steel shot #2s, 3in, 1 1/4 ounce, 12g. also i could tell that i hit ducks dead on, but they wouldn't drop. I don't want to give up duck hunting, but it would be wrong to just leave a whole flock wounded.can anyone help me by either telling me about a better shot?
