What is your favorite duck load?

What was your trap gun of choice @popeyoung13 ?

My titles were won with a rem. Model 1100. In this century, hands down a bennilli sbe3.

Yes, my buddy has lived in merced co. His whole life. Reloaded .28 gauge steel till it became avaiable. I am a 2x state trap champ , reloaded 40, 000 rounds on a poness reliader, less cost.and this dude is anazing vs. My .20 gauge. Many private clubs in the valley are doing .20 gauge or less to stop skybusting. Takes 1 pellett and 6 shot is the key for any gauge, ic choke.

I have 2,000 rounds of 6 shot .20 gauge steel at home now. 2 3/4 btw. Also lots of 7 shot steel for dove/quail for the C.r.i.t.

Why shoot steel on the C.R.I.T., when its not required?....Pretty sure 6's & 7's only come in 2 3/4"....

ps...I don't know what kind of ducks you shoot, but one pellet doesn't cut it for me...

Faststeel 2.0 sells 3 inch or 2 3/4 6 shot steel. Steel is required to duck hunt on the creet and for dove/quail i shoot all steel, i dont want that 1 round of lead on me when i jump back to ca. I no longer use any lead even for rifle rounds. Most states will go this way shortly. Eagles pecking on lead in birds and deer? Not cool.

Bet it was cool for a lot of those animals on the wall. Why handicap future generations?

I wanted @NBK to hunt another planet but he was busy playing with a puppy

 

[Snake Charmer]

Yes I can tell you from experience you should visit other galaxies....

Education evolves. Shoot copper or steel. Please. Every state will do this.

I shot some #5 kent Teal steel last season and the shit was deadly. Even on longer shots, stone dead. Not sure why but I killed a lot more ducks last year going 2 sizes smaller.
