[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2392438, member: 15527"] I reload, so I think "steel shot" is great! I shoot nothing but 2 3/4" loads in a 12 ga. and killing a duck or goose to an honest 60 yds. is not that hard to do. The "problem" I see a lot of guys doing, is shooting those teeth rattling 3 1/2" loads, and they are not necessary or required for waterfowl. I shoot #3 steel for teal, #1 steel for mallards and T steel for geese. A light but "fast" load of steel is very lethal and very effective for ducks and geese. A 7/8 oz. load of the previous mentioned steel shot at 1,600-1,800 fps. is better than any lead load, as well as much lighter in the recoil department.... [/QUOTE]
