King -The other 20b gunners were using 3" steel. Interestingly, though the RBL is touted as able to handle steel shot, I couldn't find a cartridge maker listing 2.75" steel with duck-size shot. So I had to use the high-priced spread: 1-oz #4 Bismuth. They perfomed very well on both ducks, snows and Canada geese shot over decoys.

I have to tell you, there are several people right now who saw how the gun looked and performed and are sorry they didn't order one when I told them to!
