I switched to an O/U about 8 years ago for everything . I think in some 200 duck/goose days with quail,rabbits,chuckkar and 2 coyotes between the blind and truck I've wanted for more gun about 6 times . 3 for coyotes hovering out about 150yds flairing ducks and 2 for those A/A geese that drop outta the jet stream a mile out in the lake. But the handloads help some too I'm sure
