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.
Since you're our resident H&R 32 magnum expert, I have some questions. My thumb joint arthritis is not getting any better. While I can still handle full power 38spl;, it's no longer fun. I know you've recently switched to the 32 and would like to hear your experiences, opinions and recommendations. What have you learned of it's effectiveness against actual bad guys? What non boutique ammo would you recommend? Anything else that would be useful for me to know in making a decision on whether to switch.
