Thanks men!!!! I have been thinking straight 5’s, all things considered. Definitely helps on the choke selection. Surely the 5’s would be just as devastating as lead 6’s? All of the old timers I know who have killed tons of ducks with lead claim 6’s were the perfect size. Killed em stone dead. I dunno. The main thing I know is that steel is horrible and I will never own another steel shell in my life.

As for the 20 thing, I dont see that happening but my favorite shotgun is a 20 so we shall see.
