Tried steel shot and don' t like them. I shoot Kent tungsten matrix and swear by them. As was said to me by the founder," use mod. choke it gives the best pattern" .

I use Federal 4' s. Always have always will. I usually kill the duck, hardly ever cripple them. Also I can go get a pheasant with those 4' s if one is around.

I swear by kent fasteel #4' s with nothing tighter than modified choke. I think i wond less birds than before. but i' m a big believer in not taking a long shot. The kent #4' s put out a great pattern out to 40 some yards

I like PMC' s that' s all I have been shooting since last season and for being so cheap they are very good in the 2 3/4" #2 and that size is very very effective for both ducks and geese and it kills em deader than s^%$. After then I would have to go with Federal' s 2 3/4" 2' s, or BB' s.

Sixes out of a full choke sixes work good out to forty yards, great pattern density more chances to score a hit in the head the only reliable way for steel to kill instantly. it would take 2.5 oz.of 2s to equal the pattern density of1 oz. of 6s and if you can' t decoy em into forty yards take up pheasant hunting or shoot bismuth
