1 1/5 oz VS 1 1/4 oz duck load

[Elbert Chamblee]

difference in 1 1/4 and 1 1/5 is maybe 10 bb's in #3 shot. Speed kills but it slows down just like the slow bb's do. I always liked the Estate 3 1/2" with #2 for big ducks or #3 for teal. Shot a IC for teal and a LM for big ducks and geese (BBBs). I had 8 cases of steel shot when I quit duck hunting a few years ago and I sold to a buddy. He had never shot the estate shells 1 1/2 at 1350 fps or 1 3/8 at 1450. He came by after about a month and I thought the shells must have give him trouble. Well he wanted to know if I had some more that I kept just in case. He just bought the cheap shells 1 oz at Walmart....SPEED KILLS and big loads deliver dead ducks. To me the easiest bird to kill is a canvasback.
