I patterned my old lightweight AYA ten at 40 and 60 yards with my favorite factory load of 1 3/4 ounces of steel #2. At 40 yards, a mallard would have about twenty shot in the body when centered. At 60, that mallard would still have sufficient shot to kill. A goose would have had many more than required to kill. That gun has about .045 of choke. I still have the pattern sheets although the gun was sold to a friend.
