Hevi-Shot

[fabsroman]

Depends on what size of duck you are shooting at. I killed a mallard with #4's at about 50 yards right overhead and it dropped to the ground dead. I haven't tried 5's or 6's on ducks, so Skeet might be able to give you a better response.

Brant Buster snuck his post in right before mine, so I had to go back and edit this. He is right about the reloading. Reloading waterfowl loads is the quickest way to save money. Reloading Hevi-Shot saves about $1 per shell, and using Hevi-Shot means you have to shoot less too (i.e., you kill more birds). So, it is a savings all the way around.
