Last year I tried Remmington Hypersonic( 3" #2). I had less cripples than previous years. What do you shoot?

Been shooting Remington Sportsman 3" #4s for the past couple years. It patterns well in my gun and does the trick for me.

I did order a case of federal speed-shok 3" #3s. Same velocity and shot size as the remingtons, so hopefully they perform just as well.

I usually shoot Kent Fasteel just bc I think it's the best shell for the money. 3in #2,3,4 and usually keep half a box of 3.5s for the geese

Tried the Winchester Blind Side last week for teal (2.75" #5 shot) and they worked well. Been looking all over for 3" #4 shot and they're no where to be found.

I use these for Specks.

Use 3" #2 or #4 for ducks, depending on if we are hunting public shooting grounds or not.

There may or may not still be some 3 1/2 BBs in a knot hole in a tree in the public grounds though.

I use a montage of shells. 2 and 3/4's and 3 inchers, in number 2's, 4's and 6's. I like to start off with the high number shell and then when they think they are getting away, I finish em up with the 3 inch number 2's. Death I tell, not good to be a duck in my neighborhood.
