RE: steel shot sucks
I shoot a browning 10ga BPS with a mod. choke at Geese up here in northern IL. and I use Remington Nitro Steel Magnum BBB. I can still cripple them just as good as the next guy if I hit them too far back. Increase your lead and watch your kill rate go way up. I spent alot of $$$ on those High dollar hevi-shot loads and never increased my kill rate. Shot-em in the face and get a dead goose.
I also shoot a 12ga BPS for ducks and have great luck with Kent Fasteel in the #3 size.
good luck guys & gals
