I always used #6 lead back before the ban. It worked great on close range ducks but failed on incomers unless they caught some pellets in the head and neck. I did most of my duck shooting along woodland streams so most shots were 25 - 35 yards. It worked great on ducks rising off the stream above the cattails and brush.
