While I've not personally used T's one in our group uses them quite frequently on canadian geese in December when their plumage is very dense. 60-70 yard knockdowns are very common. Kill shots much less frequent than cripples.

Having said that I see as many cripples in the 30-50 yard zone with hunters using Federal 3", 1 1/4 at 1550 fps.

Old Friend Researcher, dodging the Federales is not the problem. I can still run just fine, the issue is the added weight of all them heavy shot shells is starting to slow me down.

Today I purchased a box of Blind Side Shot Shells size square BBs, and went out for a very scientific study. First was the pattern board at 50 Yds. (NOTHING SPECIAL). Next was a SALT LAKE CITY Phone book shot up at 55 Yds. and count the pages of penetration again NOTHING SPECIAL here either. Last scientific study was a crow fly by at 50 Yds. Missed him both shots NOTHING SPECIAL here either. If I get the opportunity Will try to shoot some ducks with the rest of the box of Blindside Shot Shells.

I do thank you all for your comments and advise on my question. I have shot some of the Kent bismuth shot shells this year, and the work much better than in years past.

I think I will get a box of the Federals and pattern them at the same time out of a IM CompNChoke. Should be interesting.

Thanks again, SRH
