The duck gods are fickle..........

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Steel #4s should work just fine....don't even need 3" if you have 2 3/4" shells. Just make sure you clean them well.....nothing worse than biting into a steel pellet!

Awww man..I wouldn't shoot another can..especially with a 16. Ya need to shoot them with at least a 3 1/2 inch 12..or a 3 1/2 inch 10 would be even better. Just funnin ya Mr 16.

Yeah, I figured as much.....even so, I hunt with a friend who has another friend who insists that you need 3 1/2 #2 hevishot to kill ducks, and that you need a .300 Weatherby mag as minimum for whitetails. Needless to say, we don't hunt much together..........
