Fed blue box 4's +90% of the time. I will switch to 6's for teal specific hunts over decoys and nudge up to 3's or 2's chasing divers out of the sculler.

I always find these discussions interesting. I shot ducks in CA for 49 seasons, and over the last 30 years, pretty much all I shot were 2 3/4” 4’s. I sold my duck club 3 years ago and started duck hunting in Idaho on a club that only allows small gauge guns. Now, when shooting 20 gauges we mostly shoot 2 3/4” Federal blue box 4’s. When shooting 28 gauges (which is mostly what we hunt with) Hevi X 4’s. Hevi X is a great waterfowl shell.

After doing all my duck hunting with 28 & 20 gauges the last 3 years, I don’t really care to use a 12 gauge any longer.

I just got a couple of cases of the light 2 3/4" load from boss. Cant wait to give them a try on waterfowl and pheasant this fall. I prefer old double guns but i bought 3 model 12 featherweights im going to set up for different scenarios from quail to geese.

Beretta 390 (Walmart version) 12 gauge, shooting 3” #2 Winchester Blindsides. I switch to #3s or 4s if the birds are decoying well. Choke is a Patternmaster short range or long range, depending upon conditions.

With age came the returns to 20ga more often than 12 ga. Have some nice older sxs's or an older wingmaster.
