Okay, I'm going on a duck hunting road trip this winter with some old friends. We used to hunt ducks together a lot 25+ years ago. We used to go on these duck hunt road trips where we would spend days on the road going from location to location to hunt duck and maybe cover a dozen different spots in as many days. It was a great way for four of us to spend time together. Now there is three of us left and we are going to do another trip.

I need some recommendations for a good duck load to use in my 12 gauge 2 3/4" Remington 1100. It's the only shotgun I have which I can use on this hunt. Last time I hunted ducks we were still using lead shots in our guns. I don't know anything about steel shots so any recommendations would be appreciated. I just want something 12 gauge 2 /34" and legal and economical as I will be supplying shells for everyone. I expect we will be shooting mostly wood ducks around here.

Thanks.
