I won't dip into the which gun discussion just to say there are a bunch that are suitable for the task, provided the task is decoying ducks and geese. You get into pass shooting then you are (imo) be ... |

Not a 16 but I handled my buddies new A5 the other day in the blind. I did not care for the pistol grip one bit on it. It seemed "too perpendicular" to the barrel if that makes sense. It ... |

I have shot some of the Blue Steel 12ga shells.

1 oz of #5 moving at 1200 seems a paltry load for geese.
I would love to think I am good enough to hit all that I aim for in the head and neck and my calling and decoy setting skills of such polish ... |

That still doesn't explain how they can cram an oz in a 20 ga hull and move it at the same pace as the 16.

If they can fit 1 oz in a 2 3/4 20ga why can't we get 1 1/16 oz or at least a little peppier load in 16?
Would like to see #4 and #2's as well. #2 should be a decent decoying goose load. |
