Keep in mind that steel patterns tighter than lead. You do not want to over choke. Mod. should be plenty.

i use a mod, but my brother always wants to hunt from the boat, and all those mallards steer very clear from us(about 90yds), so i need like a .30-06 or somethin!!!

Thank god this year i can hunt alone, i just gotta make a blind.

OH and camelcluch made a great point about steel shootin tighter, I had forgot about that so thanks! rtrudeau, I didn't know that Kent made #1 steel I'm gonna have to get me some of that!

One more thing, Steel is not soft like lead. If you over choke there is a chance of blowing up the the barrel of scoring. A mod. choke if about full for lead.
