Charlie I wonder what they considered Goose Shot, the letet states this rather than a shot size and percentage.

As of now no, lead is still legal for hunting in most areas, except for water fowl, but one biologist stated if one California Condor is seen anywhere in Oregon lead for hunting will be banned. Hope they prosper but well south of the California/Oregon border.

I wonder if they're "legal" on an Indian Reservation in the USA .

Anything is legal on Indian Reservations as they aren't technically the USA. Now I'm sure a Game Warden would disagree, but they can't go there so they aren't in control. That said, would I haul an 8 gauge to one just to try to kill a bird with it? Unlikely

As far as 8 gauge guns go, if you aren't shooting at least 2 1/2 ounces out of one, you're shooting a 10 gauge anyway.
All the old shell boxes say #2 and BB for geese. We shot some high geese in Scotland with AAA which is essentially buckshot. DLH
