[QUOTE="Prairie Sasquatch, post: 3002657, member: 124243"] My advice to people would be to get a heavy 20 gauge semi auto or shoot 2 3/4" 12 gauge in a semi auto. You don't need magnum loads to kill birds. Ive shot thousands of ducks, snow geese, and Canada geese with 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #2 steel. I've shot piles of birds with a 28 gauge shooting hevi shot or bismuth in 3/4 and 7/8 ounce. I've also shot ducks and snow geese with my .410. Can't shoot as far but under 30 yards they kill them just fine. I don't view 1 oz loads of #2 steel out of a 20 gauge as a handicap at all for any decoying waterfowl. They kill birds perfectly at ranges up to 50 yards. Recoil is negligible. [/QUOTE]
