My 1st shotgun (45 yrs ago) was an Ithaca model 37 featherlight 20 ga.(2¾) I'd like to pull it out and do some waterfowling w/it.
What shells would you use? I'm thinking Kent tungsten matrix in 2 or 3's. Any input is appreciated.

Check Hevi-shot classic doubles. It is supposed to be made for older guns. I cannot attest to their quality but I have read multiple times to be careful with modern waterfowl loads on old barrels. I have used "normal" 2 3/4 Hevi-shot and have being pleased with the outcome. Not cheap shells by any means but I don't get to hunt duck often, let alone fire a lot.
