Very popular and hard to find. Most people buy it all up early

any feedback on 3 shot would be appreciated.



What brand?

I pretty much only shoot #4 HeviShot. Pretty lethal on ducks without a bunch of cripples with a good pattern in my gun. My only change-up is during Teal when I switch to #6 HS or if during big duck I might shoot some geese, I will go to #2 HS.

Shoot better and worry about shot size less

This. Or just spend the money up front on a good long range choke tube and shoot #4's. That's the best of both worlds.

I used to use 3" #3 but they can be hard to find. So I use 3" #4 for the last several years and have no problems with clean kills. And it gives you a few more pellets for those "off" days.
