Just dug out some steel shot from the hunting closet. What waterfowl would you shoot with the following:
3 inch BB 3 inch #4
Also found some #2 and #6....which I think are good for such things as your garden variety ducks, i.e. mallards and teal?

Generally speaking, 2s and 4s are good sizes for ducks, 6 is a nice teal load, and BB is good for geese.

Load in this order: 4 shot 2 shot BB That will allow you to reach out as you unload.

4 is the smallest I will use for ducks, bb definitely for geese, and 2 are good for sandhills or geese at close range

3 inch #4 are very versatile
I don't always shoot deer, but when I do, I prefer B&C's. I don't always shoot ducks, but when I do, I prefer banded ducks.
