Went out this morning and got a chance to throw some Federal Speed Shok 3 inch 7/8oz 1550fps #2's at a couple mallards. I have to say I was a bit skeptical about hitting anything with these little shells but they did the job quite well.

The drake was skirting the decoys in the 30-35 yard, I think I missed on the first shot, and connected on the second. Pellet in the neck, broke a wing, pellet center top back and on through the side of his buttocks. The hen was flying right to left when I intercepted her at 20 yards. Two pellets to the neck one to the chest and broke the closest wing in the process.

My go to for ducks pretty much since Canada switched to steel shot has been #3's so I think I'm going to try and find some 20 gauge 3 inch 7/8oz 1550fps #3's.
