My buddy and I did some testing last week in Saskatchewan with our 28 ga on decoying snow geese. We shot our limit with 6 steel, 4 steel and 3 steel black cloud. I was surprised how well 6 steel killed snow geese. I've found a load with at least 120 pellets to be very effective if the pellets will penetrate. 6 were good to 30 yds, 4 to 35yds and the #3 were good to 45 yards.
I imagine a 1 1/8 oz load of 18cc pellets would kill birds way out there. Could definitely drop down payload and still be very effective I think.

The load I'm using is a duplex of TSS and Bismuth. 1/2oz #8 TSS and 5/8oz #5 Bismuth at 1250 fps. I patterned some of it this past weekend and am impressed with the results. Resident pheasant opener is this coming weekend so I'll post results when we get back next week. Looking forward to roosters and walleyes!!
