What loads are you shooting thru those 20s?

I don't do a lot of high volume shooting. Most of my duck hunting is a bonus while quail hunting. I use Bismuth loads.

Tell us more about the guns. What all did Chris Dawe do? Anything in particular to make them safe with duck loads? Beautiful guns

We did Nothing special to shoot the Bismuth loads. I just don't feed it a steady diet of heavy loads.
Chris took blanks I supplied and built these beautiful stocks, contoured the metal, did all of the bluing and coordinated the engraving and case harding.
Assisted with the import and export.
We could not be happier with the results.

You do not need "duck loads" per se to kill ducks. I shoot ducks and geese both through my old SxS's using 1oz loads of #4 Bismuth with a mv of 1200 fps. They fold the birds dead if I do my part correctly. I limit my shots to under 40 yards and I shoot them working over the decoys as opposed to pass shooting.

Spent a couple great days with friends in Rock Hall, MD chasing canada geese. For those of you who might have gone to Hopkin's Sporting clays for the vintagers, it's not far from there. Well we really weren't chasing them, more like sitting and waiting in a blind for them. But they did show up. The first day I always like to hunt with my Dad's Beretta 303 which I had won at a clay shoot 30+ years ago and gave to him because I didn't shoot right handed autoloaders and he really liked it. He hunted with it until his death at 97 so there are plenty of ding and dents to remind me of our hunts together. We limited out by 0830 but the interesting thing was that we were shooting over a pond and these birds presented themselves, wings cupped, at 30yds. Hmmmm. The next day my 30" 20ga sterly made it's way to the blind and although it took a little longer to limit out I waited and got the perfect set and three birds made the mistake of gliding in, wings cupped and necks outstretched. Game over with two shots.

Foxes and ducks definitely belong together - in this case a 12 ga. 32" 3" SuperFox. Berthieville, Quebec, Canada Fall 2008. "Ducks? You bat you!

Can you guys with recipes transfer them to the recipes thread? I’ll NEVER remember to look for them with Foxes.
