Hi all. Just got into duck/goose hunting at the tail end of this past season. I have a few boxes of steel 3" shot size 2 and 1 left over (duck season just ended here in California the weekend before last). Running them through an old standard 12 gauge Mossburg 500 with a modified choke. Can I use them for Jackrabbits, or am I better saving them for next season. I do plan on eating the Jacks, so I don't want to ruin the meat. I've been told lead shot size 4 and 5 is good for jacks.
