Going to Arkansas after Christmas. Will be shooting #2's. What shells would you recommend or to stay away from?
Lead
Wait I have killed a ton of ducks with lead. Just not recently.Lead
The young ones just dont understand the birds you and I killed with lead #4I wish.My Shot Shell of choice.are Winchester Drylok Supreme HV 3 inch, 1 1/4 #2 @1450 fps.There the best I've found for any and all ducks a little pricey but that's my opinion. Its as deadly as lead #4 was back in the day.I shoot about a case and 1/2 a year and they hammer in my 870 with a improved cylinder choke.
Funny, I went by cabelas before the first season, and all the #4 and #5 lead was sold out. There was shelves full of i guess there was a lot of pheasant around that week.
AMEN BROTHER.. AA hull,Blue dot powder,AA red wad and 11/2 Oz of lead #4 was a bad duck killer.I reloaded a many a shell back in the day Mec 600 Jr still have it put back in the old shop.40 yards was a DEAD DUCK.I miss the day we shot lead but Winchester Supremes are as close as I seen to them.The young ones just dont understand the birds you and I killed with lead #4
I did exactly the same thing with 29 grains of Hercules Blue dotAMEN BROTHER..

I shoot Kents to and like them. They do work good on divers.I like Kent #3's myself. Plenty of killin' power and better spread than #2's. I only use #2's on divers.
