Hi guys, I'm new to the DG doubles and all, but I do know duck hunting and steel shot. Let me set a couple of things straight OK. Steel shot will damaged full choke barrels of thin walled guns. The effective range for steel is 35 yds, and recommend a modified choke. Big shot for geese 1,2 BB's and T's, 2's or 4's for ducks over dekes. If you don't want to shoot steel then go with the Heavy shot, it is truely remarkable and will kill geese at 65 yd's all day long and on duck's with small shot is deadly out to 50 yds on passing ducks. A plus with this shot is that you can shoot it in any double gun, OK.
Now the price, yes they are salty, but trust me it's wash when you consider that you shoot once at a duck and it comes down, not a half box of steel. Now guys I have been
slaying these buggers going on 45 years now and have seen the eveolution from lead to steel and to the exotic stuff. The heavy shot is the best thing to come down the pike since smokless powder. Have fun.
