They say the 4 bore guns will kill at 100 yards if they're loaded heavy and held right. I killed a mallard drake with one at pushing 80 yards, an old school long shore gunner was standing at my shoulder as a coach. Would like to go over there and do it one more time, particularly flighting the pinkfoot geese with a big bore.
