Need big shot and lots of power to knock down a goose. They are tough suckers. I usually used 2-3/4” shells but 3” magnums were better. Like Rusty says, we used BB if we expected them to be longer shots, #2 if we could get them in close. I remember the transition from lead to steel and all the gnashing of teeth it caused. steve. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
