Hevi-shot

[willie]

i looked on heavy-shot web-site and it looks like they are jumping on the tungsten band wagon. HEVI-X for waterfowl.

[hoobilly]

Would that x be considered a 10 and this be a Hevi-10 density pellet?

[rackmaster300]

Yes, not even the density of lead. High 9's.

if its cheap enough and in a 25 round box...

it might be better than regular old steel

[rackmaster300]

Guys on their Facebook page said Midway was selling boxes of 25 for around $35.

[ICDEDTURKES]

Don't quote me but their hevi steel years ago was 9.8, it was a great waterfowl load.

But going through a couple cases a year and the fact I hate the company, I switched to Fed Blue Box

No 12.

I don't take waterfowl patterning that serious, big paper, shoot, duck can't get through that, g2g.

Heck by the end of the year I'll have what looks like a skittles bag. Blue, red, green, maroon lol

any serious fowler has their ammo bag looking like that for sure. I want to kill a few ducks and geese this year and will be using my Benelli 20ga and hoping to find a viable goose load. I have plenty of hevi7 duck loads and will use them for mallards etc

For something different this year, I am gonna give a go at Divers. Bought two green kayaks and have so many 80-200 acre lakes within 10 minutes that hold them

Only shot them a few times, but loved it. Figuring I can get by with 3 dozen dekes on long lines

Iffin y'all don't hear from me in November, probably dumped a kayak in frigid water and died lol

I really enjoyed shooting divers.

wish I still had my MLB layout boats..

For a goose load in 20ga I use winchester experts in shot size #4. Kept my shots inside of 40yds and make sure to center pattern on head and neck. My girlfriend even used them and pulled a triple on big canadas last season.

I will keep that in mind.. I been seriously thinking about loading a 1oz tss #7 load for geese that will smoke them I would think lol
been a long time for a triple on geese for me. once when hunting with my cousin we had a huge flock skip over the trees and I said kill'm
stood up and barrel was pointed straight in the sky. lead 1 foot in front of the beak and 3 in a row. He shot 3 times and never cut a hair

[Spuriosity]

Dang, y'all got hairy geese?

[decoykrvr]

ICDEDTURKES,
A couple of tips. Start your longest line out about 80-90 yards from your shooting position and place a few decoys which show a lot of white, ie. Canvasbacks, Goldeneyes at the outer end of the line. Use the J-hook spread with a small wad of decoys at the bottom of the J where you want the divers to ball up prior to landing about 20-25 yards in front of you. Get a black/white flag and use it vigorously whenever you see ducks. Keep a handful of swatter loads in your pocket for cripples and reload w/ the swatters without taking your eyes off the downed ducks and finish them off quickly, since you won't be able to out paddle them. I always set a few puddlers and a couple of goose decoys off to the side 10-20 yards from the bottom of the J w/ landing room between the puddler dekes and the J. Save your calling for the geese and puddlers and rely on the flag for the divers. Stay dry!!

I'm going to try a 3/4 oz load of 8s this year for ducks and geese out of the 20ga.
