I don't really have a standard I could be shooting a 28ga one day and the next 12ga 3 1/2" it just depends. But I do have a favorite general purpose duck load. That being Kent 12ga 3" 1 1/8 oz #6 steel at 1560 fps. From doves to mallards it has worked fine as far as I can tell.

I have 5 870 wingmasters, 12ga and 20ga. In timber I use the 20s with modified choke and usually Winchester 3inch number 2s. For hunting fields I usually use a 12ga with modified choke and number 2s. I've owned every type benelli, Winchester sx2,3,4 and several others but always return to an 870. They always work for me.

For the last 20 years I’ve shot 2 3/4” 12 ga, 1-1/8 or 1-1/4oz bismuth. I only shoot at geese if they happen to fly low over me while I’m duck hunting.
90% of the time I either use a 1911 AH Fox Pin gun or a 1924 Fox Sterlingworth 16 ga.

Both are short chambered so I use 2 1/2 in shells,usually with 7/8 to 1oz. I’ve shot a few limits of mallards and one unlucky goose with an ounce of Nice Shot in the 12.
