[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2883511, member: 92702"] I believe you. We have killed enough Canadas at that range with Tungsten to know. Takes practice to hold over and in front. At those ranges and beyond you have to hold over them as much as leading them. Sounds crazy, but you get the hang of it pretty quick shooting at wads of Snows. Sandhills are the toughest bird I've ever tried to put down (seen but never shot a wild Swan). Impressive. I would have thought larger shot. I know it takes #2 or BB's in 12gm to kill Canadas that far, and they won't kill a Sandhill nearly that far. Smaller body with more bone, cripples. Something most folks don't know is how Tungsten patterns hold together at long range. I've had handloads that patterned 60% in a 30" circle @100yds. Lethal stuff for sure. Have you ever tried the 15gm stuff? I'm thinking shot sizes between the two for geese. Ducks, #6 or 7??? [/QUOTE]
