Argentina Duck doubles
Having shot in Argentina and Uruguay a number of times, I found my M21 20 bore to be a good match for the duck shooting. Shooting 1 oz of lead 5's, it neatly accounted for limits on each excursion, without any difficulty. The birds decoyed nicely and shots were mostly within 30 yards. Using thin wall briley's I used IC and mod or mod and imp. mod for all my shooting. You don't need full or extra full for these birds. 12 bore loads were 1 1/8oz--usually Fiocchis and they work very well too. I would consider using chokes up to
imp. mod in 12 bore. I'm not sure about using damascus barreled guns. I never saw any low pressure loads in SA. We went on multi specie trips--duck, pigeons, doves and perdiz. A 20 bore is nice for all of them. The pigeons can sometimes use some choke. They are tough birds and if not decoying well, can be a real challenge. Have a great trip. There is no better place in the world for volume wingshooting at a reasonable price!
