Well....... I have read all the reports especially Delta's Database... well.... I was out hunting yesterday morning when and had a canvasback fly in it was about 30 yards away and inches above the water. I shot at it with 3" #4's ...... the shoot totally engulfed the duck and it hit the water. It was still swimming around so I took another shot at it. Shot engulfed the duck again and I was aiming at the head and the duck still was alive. The duck dove and never surfaced again and the dogs couldn't find it....... lost bird!!!!!
Later on in the morning a bufflehead did the same thing this time I put 3 shell in it.... and the bird got up and flew away.
According the the Delta... I was well within the stated range.
Next year I am going Hevi or Tungsten!!!!.... and I'll probably reload them.
