I`ve been shooting Heavy Shot for geese for afew years now. I don`t call but sneek up on them and jump shoot so I don`t get many of those close shot like the guy shooting over decoys. Last yeas untill the last goose I had 1 more goose down than shoots fired with Heavy shot. The last one took me 3 shots to get so I finished the year with 1 less goose than shots fires, with Heavy Shot. Once downed I finish them with Steel and have shot alot of times at geese and know I have them in the middle of the patteren and they keep swimming like nothing is happing. I`ve got enough Heavy Shot for this year I think, so I can put off them $3 per shell for another year, $2 is enough. I haven`t checked on reloading for acouple of years, but when I did it would have cost more to reload Heavy Shot than to buy loaded ammo. I long for the good old days when we could use lead.
