"Back in the day" lead 6s was my choice for ducks over decoys and passing shots. With my fine older guns I have gone to, by modern standards, low velocity (1150 - 1200 fps) Bismuth 5s. Still a good shot count, nice patterns, and dependable knock down. Get your best "dove lead" out, throw it out in front of 'em and let'em run into it. I have found this is actually a better success rate for me than the high velocity steel we're shooting today.
