I have been using Heavi Shot 3 1/2 inch single B's. with an IC choke for geese. I really believe this is the deadliest load ever manufactured for Honkers out to 40 yards or so. Try a 10 pack and see what you think.

I've used Hevi Shot for 3 years for ducks and geese.
I find the single B will drop a Honker stone dead at 45-50 and we use 4-6 on ducks depending on the wind.
The dense configuration allows you to use an IC choke which patterns to about an imptoved Modified.

I have taken geese regularly at 40 with Heavi Shot B's, but as a rule they are out only about 25.
This guy may be stretching it a bit.
I've had real good luck using the IC with Remington Heavi Shot B's.
A little pricey, but it folds them.
Essentially, because of the extra denseness of the shot, you are shooting an Improved Modified.
Hi Eric,
I have a 912 and it works great. Just keep the receiver and bolt slide clean and you won't have any problem (thow a couple Q-tips in youe pocket).
The 31/2 inchers boot a little, so may want to consider the recoil reducer. (Of course with 10 Honkers coming at you at 40 yards, you don't feel it at the time).
