I have tried the Hevi-Crap and have found that The 12ga Federal Premium steel and the Faststeel at 1550 work just as good at less than 1/3 the price. I have never lost a Goose that I can remember and have taken several in the 35-40 yard range with my #4's but most are within 50yds with #2 or BB. I have used BBB hunting Geese but I still try to let them work to within 50 yds before shooting. I have also tried T and F shot in my 10 ga but dead is dead and the 2's and BB's work just as good if you let the birds work the decoys. For my $$$ I will shoot Steel over any non-toxic available. and take home just as many birds as those SKYBUSTERS :thumbsdown: that think they have to shoot at every duck or goose that flies lower than the clouds and cripple / waste more birds than they take home.

#2's on Geese is the std with people I hunt with. at 50 yds and the choke I use I can get at least 8 to 10 hits on the goose with Federal Premium 3.5" and 1550fps. Never lost one. I see on the "take em 6" video that they are using steel # 4's for goose hunting in Canada and droping them just fine. If I am hunting ONLY geese I do use BB or BBB.
