3" BB steel, High velocity (only Remington Nitro's when it's steel...) modified choke

3" #2 Hevi-shot (recommended)...modified choke over decoys...full if it's a bit further.

Hevi-Shot is too rich for my blood still.

I will shoot HV steel at size 2,BB,BBB over dekes.

2,3 for ducks.

BBB and BB for pass shooting

BB over decoys

In both the 10ga and the 12.

If you can shoot 3 1/2", maximize your opportunities.

I'll shoot nothing smaller than BB's at geese. . . they're tough. Also have a super tight patternmaster choke on the end too. . . .

It all depends on your hunting set up and the hunting in your area. Some set ups and areas will allow you decoy birds where a 3" BB is a great load with a Mod choke for those 30yrd or less shots. Other areas because of pressure and skybusters your main shooting will be pass shooting where a 3.5" BBB or #2 Hevi Shot and a Patternmaster choke will dish rag them for those 30yrd+ shots. Knowing the typical distance you will be shooting and knowing your pattern at that didtance will greatly improve your shooting.
