Shot it all duck season last year. Wasn't a very good season but when we had ducks this worked well out 45+. Recoil isn't objectionable either, might be a bit starchy for a heavy day of clays. I shoot the same load with 1 oz. #7 or #8 lead for doves.

Keith, that looks like a good load. Thanks for sharing. I have a short kit for my 16 gauge Sizemaster, but I'm not so versatile with my 12 gauge reloading and am limited to 2 3/4" with my Grabber. Ironically I have some nice 1 oz. 16 gauge bismuth loads, but I wanted to bump up to the bigger bore to shoot 4's.
