I bought a Beretta Silver Pigeon 3 1/2" 32" Ten this summer that came with about a case of 3 1/2" Bismuth 1 5/8 oz. of 2s and 4s. Well I had a first with that gun. While walking the dogs across the yard to kennel them I heard geese headed my way, I built my house 20 years ago so have had them fly over house at 50-60 yards many times, I ran in walk in basement where gun and shells where at the ready and made it to see them out front of me threw the trees headed right over me, when they flew over driveway I lead the front bird by 20 to 25 feet as they where really moving, the first shot hit him hard but he was trying to regroup so I hit him with the second barrel. That bird made it over several trees my office and landed a good 80 yards away with a sound thud. It made my work day morning a lot more interesting. Heading out with dog and gun now.
This was not my first experience with the ten as I have owned a high condition 1889 NH 2 7/8 32" ten for a number of years, just hate to have to use it in every water fowling situation.
