Not trying to be too critical, but, why go away from steel? If you can't kill a duck with steel shot you are either taking too long shots or you just can't shoot. You will save a heck of a lot of money by staying with steel also. I'm not saying you can't shoot steel, but if you have a problem and you don't already use one, go with an improved cyl. barrel. It will improve your kill ratio. If you kill plenty of ducks with steel and just want to experiment with somrthing else, then disregard what I have said and good luck.
