New ammo

I guess this could go in shotgun forum, but, it’s ammo not a gun.

So, tomorrow morning my son and daughter-in-law will be piloting a new ammo for us. I won’t be going duck hunting until Sunday (I don’t like to miss too many Sundays for hunting, but the season is only so long. Tomorrow is Cranberry Festival and I promised to take my wife. So, the ducks will have to wait another day to experience my charming attentions.)

One of my frustrations with steel for waterfowl is that I’m convinced it just doesn’t kill as effectively as lead. Other non-toxics are better but VERY pricey. So, you end up going with  bigger shot… but then there are so many fewer per load…

So, I found these:



They look interesting and the research says they’re very effective. They’re a duplex of two shot sizes.

 
The 3 1/2” 12 ga really slap. Sometimes I wonder if i’m getting whacked as bad as the ducks. I guess we will find out if these are effective.
