not at all silly EeBees
in steel the 3 inch black cloud 2,s are the only real option if you can get them.
but in lead i use gamebore 2 3/4 inch 30 gram 4,s and or 3,s for close decoying birds with the fiochhi 30 gram load of two,s for the last load or two in the gun.
i used to use the 3 inch fiochhi 36 gram load in 2,s but found it unneccessary mostly, not to mention cheek rattling.
pass shooting geese hell yes the 3 inchers takes up spot 3,4,5, in the mag with 1,and 2, filled by the 2 3/4 inch 30 gram 2,s with a modified choke for all goose hunting.
unfortunatly pass shooting geese flighting off the river to stubble fields is pretty much fucked.
thanks to constant pressure and greatly reduced goose numbers the birds wont even land in the paddock the want to feed in.
but stage in paddocks a bit away from them and watch till dark almost for any danger signs and if they see dekes ''forget about it''
