My BPS 10 was my go to waterfowl gun in the 90's and early 2000's. I also took a lot of geese with it. I do remember somewhere around 15 shots I was reaching the limit of how much punishment I wanted to take that day. About 8 years ago I sold it to a friend and bought a Remington SP-10. The BPS was better in every way, except for recoil. For those who can take it's punch it's one of the best waterfowl guns going IMO. I don't see a need to punish myself with heavy loadings in the Mortimore. I am thinking a 3.5" 1 3/8 ounce load of bismuth with a little more velocity than my 2 7/8" loadings will be just fine.
Was it Dana in the canoe with you?
