[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2592656, member: 5437"] The best waterfowl loads are Tungsten but they are very expensive per round. They also have a tungsten/steel blend which is a bit less. Bismuth is more of a niche for classic guns not steel safe. A buddy of mine swears by Federal Black Cloud in steel which are a more affordable option. You are probably safe with a 3" 12 ga steel load but if he is a hardcore waterfowler he may have a 3-1/2" 12 or even a 10 ga. They are killing big geese way out there using a 28ga and full tungsten. That is just wicked stuff. I have some to try out loading up this year and I am excited to see how it goes. Shot sizes, ducks are usually smaller than geese and tungsten shot is MUCH smaller than steel. I you are interested in going one of these ways I would be happy to give some recommendations. I agree with [USER=67552]@Quintus[/USER] to get him something he wouldn't get himself. If you are ok spending the $ and want to make is a super nice gift that he will appreciate and be a treat go tungsten. [/QUOTE]
