I use Remington Nitro Express Mags, BB, and they work good enough for me!

If I'm duck hunting too, I use 3 inch 2 shoot. In North Dakota we can get them to decoy well, and get close shots. If I'm just hunting geese, I use T or BB.

I use Winchester HV BB's and BBB's. While duck hunting (teal) early this year I dropped a Canadian Goose that was banded with a 3" Winchester HV #4 shell. The Goose was about 20 yards away and about two feet of the water.

Factory would be #2 or T Kent, reloaded would have to be BB 3" at 1800 feet persecond, some fast stuff brotha.

Hey Wayne,

How goes it? -- Haven't seen ya in awhile. You and Shooter havin a good year?

I've used steel T, I've used Bismuth 2, I've used Tungsten 2, and for the last two or three years, I've gone to Hevi-Shot 4 (or 2 if ya can't get 'em in close).

Without a doubt, the Hevi-Shot is awesome (lots of $$ though). It holds such a tight pattern, that we do all our duck and goose hunting using Improved Cylinder chokes.
