IMHO when sea duck hunting in Maine we wanted to hit them [Eiders] as hard as we could. The main concern was for the retrieving dogs, as a crippled Eider would dive and pop up very far away, thus the tendency to draw the dog far off and through some tough currents. It was a bit scarry. In a modern gun best for sure was Hevi shot but also had good results with Hevi-metal BB and# 2. I do use # 2 Bismuth for ducks in my parkers on late season divers at home with no problems.
