Sorry, I didn't look that close. Ballistic Products shows they have 2.75 #5 in 20 ga.

Jay, if you aren't able to find TM, I used Kent 20 ga, 2 3/4, #5, bismuth on sea ducks last year they performed very well. Got them from Cabelas.

When shooting a 12 bore at geese and ducks, I use only the old pigeon load of 3 1/4 drams (1200 fps) and 1 1/4 ounce of shot. Relatively light recoil and short shot strings make for a superior waterfowl load. I like 6's for ducks and 4's for the geese. I don't skybust and make sure the waterfall are well within the range of my loads. |

Jay,
I suggest you get some Bismuth 5's and pattern them in your gun. Last year I killed geese with my VHE 30" 28ga with F/F chokes using 3/4oz. #4's. Search back in the Hunting with Parkers forum. I also shoot 1 oz. #5 Bismuth out of my 30" 20ga. Fox with F/F chokes. Same results. Do your part in getting them within 40yds and head shoot them. You did'nt mention whether you were shooting ducks or geese but if those loads will kill a Canada cleanly then you should have no problem on ducks. Good luck.

Head shots at 40 yards? Really? Plus goose shooting with a 28 bore with #4 shot. Pardon me for saying this, but this goes against everything I've learned and experienced in my 55 years of hunting. I respond because there might be unexperienced folks out there that might try this. It can be done, of course, but shows damn little respect for the birds, in my opinion.
