I'm with Steve on this one, I rarely shoot ducks with anything but 2 3/4 anymore and have good success. I used to think I had to shoot 3 inch at them but once I started shooting guns that actually fit me and threw good patterns I figured out I didn't need it. I do sometimes shoot heavier 1 3/8 or 1 1/2 ounce loads when on a pass shooting venture and the ducks are 50 yards plus.
That being said, I've got a Super Fox that's back from the stocker and needs some action. I've got a couple cases of the 1 5/8 Kent TM loads for it, those should be a dandy long range choice.
