Scott Vix Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Your choice gentlemen. 1oz or 1 1/8oz non toxic load, ducks, out of a 20ga. Which are ya shootin / prefer?? Quote
TMAC Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 The 3" #2's would also be my choice, steel or hevi-shot is up to you and your budget. I finished the duck season off here shooting my 20ga 1100 with 3" #2's Winchester experts, and had no trouble killing ducks but I would skimp on shooting the 2 3/4" shells. Ducks are way tougher than Pheasants, so give everything you got with your 20ga. Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I would go with heavy shot #4 or #6, I don't like shooting anything bigger then a #4 through my 20 gauge but its your choice. Its like shooting T shot steel out of a normal bore 12 gauge. I used a 20 gauge for my first year of duck hunting and it did great, I forgot what shells I used with it though, sorry. Quote
Scott Vix Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 Appreciate the comments, but the question pertained to shot charge weight.....1oz, or 1 1/8oz. Quote
Novaduckhunter Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Personally I like a little more shot, so I'd go for 1 1/8 oz. Buy a box of each and see what your gun shots best. Quote
MOwaterfowler Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 1 1/4 hevi or other non steel(or heviest load) or 7/8oz ~1500fps steel 1 1/8 slower steel Quote
