Decoying ducks

Hate to say this but for decoying ducks at 25 yds I'd still probably use Steel 3's for the first shot with hevi shot #4's as a backup. But yes you can use Hevi 6's in a 2 3/4 shell for decoying ducks...but even hevi 6's will run out of steam at 45 yds or so. 5's would be a better all around shot size.

Environmetal was the inventor of hevi shot and own the patent...but there are the newer proprietary types of shot by Remington and Winchester out there now that are probably as good or better.. Check gear and gadgets for links to Remington rebates on the new shells. GOB posted a lot of links for rebates.
