who on here hunted "leagally" whit lead?

my first year was the last year of lead. #6 lead was a killer on the little ducks and 4s would reach waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out there.

We used 2 3/4" #6. And alot of low brass at that. I can remember the old guys talking the city folks that had to use those 3" magnum canon shells to kill their ducks.

I guess the high brass #6 I used was overkill, but it would knock the $hit out of em :lol:

High brass 6's were awsome. We used dove loads on teal. There is no comparison between lead and steel. Steel has come a long way but it still is not as effective as lead,if it was you would not see all these high dollar composite loads.

2 3/4" high brass #4's were bad to the bone.

And I faithfully hunted with my grandpaw's old Model 12. It was my go to duck gun.
