As you say, patterning is the true proof, but I'd say that Q1/Q2 would be about perfect for ducks over decoys with steel shot. Maybe it would be best to limit shots to 30-35 yards, but that's plenty over decoys. And I wouldn't bother with 3" magnums either. 2 3/4" #2s work great for me, although I now use hand loads of Nice Shot non-toxic shot so that I can use it in any of my shotguns.
