Best Steel shot shell for ducks, geese

[postman]

Got an invite, what brand, size shot should I buy?

[topwater blowup]

Remington #2 shot 3" in high powder load 1 1/4 ounce or larger. Will kill anything you want. Use modified choke or tighter depending hunting set up.

[panhandlehunter]

3" #2 cheapest shells they have at wal mart.

I shot them all and Hevi Shot # 3’s for goose. Great patterns.

Winchester 3 inch 1550 fps steel number 2 will kill virtually anything that breathes. It is absolute murder on geese and big ducks. Pattern is a little loose on decoying teal. Cranes will fold like a b52 on it. Coyotes drop in their tracks. The speed helps you get in front of the bird for head shots as well.

If you need 3" shells to kill ducks, you are either:

1) Not on the X
2) Skybusting
3) Can't shoot a lick

All 3 can easily be amended.

Hevi metal BBs the best shell on the market.

Rio BlueSteel 3” 2’s

3 1/2's because they don't make 4's

For duck I prefer a full choke with #4. I always carry #2 for those skittish days. My brand of choice is Black Clouds. They pattern well through my gun and over the years have left me with less cripples. They aren't the cheapest out there but I take conservative shots. I don't sky bust or takes shots that I know aren't going to bring the bird down. I hope its a good hunt for you. I've always felt the first hunt is the one that will make or break you in duck hunting. I've been doing it for over 15 years and it never gets old working the birds and watching them decoy up nice!

I like Kent Silver Steel

I dont know a single person that uses 2 3/4 inch shells for waterfowl. I could kill them with it without a doubt, but I dont think I've seen anyone shoot 2 3/4 steel shells.

That being said, I'm a fan of Hevi Shot, Kent Fasteel, and Rio. All I shoot is 3" #4, all the way from teal to cranes. They all kill them dead, more importantly you need to see what your gun likes to cycle and pattern.

I've been shooting Rio lately cause it's the cheapest, buying 2 cases at a time from Roger's it comes to $9/box

Reach out there in the clouds

I didn't buy a 3.5 inch shotgun to shoot 3 inch shells
