[QUOTE="TCKev, post: 353550, member: 8633"] As mentioned in your other post speed kill's with steel. I love to hunt duck's and did a bunch of research on steel shot and hear's what I found. If your not going at least 1450fps your going to slow. I reloaded for awhile at 1565fps with a #2 and bb duplex load killed em graveyard dead out to 45yd's. The industry finally figured it out and you can buy some super steel shot off the shelf. I ended up shooting Federal in the reddish box #2's at 1550fps, Wal-Mart usually had them at the begining of the season. Don't let weight fool you with the 3.5" shell's it's not humanly possibly tell the differance in 1 1/8 and 1 3/8 oz's of shot your only talking a couple of piece's of shot and the price is so much more for so little. Mack's Prarrie Wing's sell's Kent that does all the above for a great price, it's what my little brother shot. All the new non toxic's are great but I just can't justify spending that much more over the right kinda steel that will get the job done. [/QUOTE]
