duck loads!

[George Lang]

Mills, none of the guns I used had twist or Damascus barrels and chambers were 2 5/8 & 2 3/4's long. I also used 16 gauge guns with lead until the full ban and then steel in the 16's, but 7/8 ounces of steel "sucked" unless the birds were very, very, very close and setting there wings to land. Like I said it was my personal experience and worked for me but each to there own.

This brings up another situation today, in the blind a guy was using hevi shot goose loads in one of his classic doubles, he offered a few to try but I reluctantly passed, those loads are iron mixed right? Not the same as hevi shot classic doubles. Would they be safe? I use an open choke (IC) over decoys, 4's in hevi shot classic doubles works well for birds coming in but those #2 would have been great for those weary birds on the fringe.
