I personally like the Federal Premium #2's 1-1/4 load. Good all around. I hunt bigger water mostly or potholes. I shoot them through a carlsons LightModified choke. My shotto kill ratio has went to 2or3 shots to a kill. I'm still learning the game and usally try to keep the ducks at a good safe and close difference. No pass shooting here. 2's will kill geese to, if you keep 'em at the right distance and dont pass shoot at the moon!
Those are the shells that I used this years early goose/teal season. I used a pure gold modified choke, and dropped geese at long distances with no problem.
