Default RE: 10 Gauge pros and cons..?

I shoot a BPS 10ga exclusivly for geese. I also own a BPS 12ga 3 1/2" that I use for other waterfowl hunting. I hunt with other guys that shoot the 12's for geese and I see a lot of crippling when they are shooting further than 35 yds. This includes them shooting the Hevi-shot rounds. I only shoot the Remington BBB Nitro Steel with the mod. choke and can kill big Canadas stone dead @ 60yards+. I live in northern IL and we have some of the biggest geese in the country around here. I don't use it for duck hunting because of the weight. It's swing is too slow.
HOPE THIS HELPS
