[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2035742, member: 92702"] I have a handload for Hevi shot 2's that will pattern 60% in a 30" circle @100yds. Shot it a lot at geese. It will kill them standing on the ground at about 140 if you hold over enough. Will kill them about as far on a straight away shot in the air. The problem with it is crossing shots. It will cripple Canada's over 70. Fantastic for cripples. We use a laser a lot goose hunting, so these ranges are legit. The reason for the problems on crossing shots lies in the pellets themselves. They look more like gravel than shot. This causes long, thin shot strings at long range. ITX makes a 13wt pellet that is round. Should be a vast improvement, but it is never available in 2's. I have loaded a few pounds of their 10gm/cc BB's in my 10ga. Those are pretty wicked. Will kill light geese to about 125 and Canadas to about 90 on crossing shots. The biggest issue is not the patterns, you can obtain them, it is learning to hold over and lead with a very expensive shell. Expensive learning curve. You cannot kill ducks as far as you can geese with any load. All that being said, I like to use hevi 5's for my first two shots on Canadas. Head shoot them over decoys.
