20 ga. waterfowl loads
I bought a Benelli M2 20 ga. this summer & it's been stacking them up pretty quick. I've taken 2 deer, a coyote, 4 foxes, a grouse, rabbits, & ducks/geese w/ it so far. I've been shooting "crappy" non-toxic shot for waterfowl but am looking for better duck/goose shells. Does Hevi-Shot make 20 ga. 3" #2s or 4s for waterfowl?

I have used them. They are great but high priced.

Yep. And if your decoying the geese, you can shoot them with 4's for the 1st shot and back it up with 2's after that. 4's makes a GREAT swatter load if needed. Kinda expensive, but a great show stopper!!!!! Will just have to look around for who carrys them. Gonna be kinda tough right now. The Federal Hevyweights are good as well. I just have had better luck and better patterns with Remington.

Admitently you are shooting a larger payload than I so you should be able to get away with a larger pellet. But in my opinion #6 hevi shot is good for ducks out to 50+ yards #6 HS is about like a heavy load of #2 steel. As for geese #4 hevi is a 50 yard goose load about equivalent to a heavy 12ga 3" #T shot steel loading.
