Shot size with I/C barrel for various game
I have a gun with a 26" Improved Cylinder Barrel. It's a classic gun and I'm not going to alter or add anything to it, so it will have to do as is. It's a fine gun for upland game birds and for ducks over decoys. With rifled slugs, it's a good deer gun. But if I want to hunt turkey and geese or flyover ducks, I'm a little bit handicapped by my I/C barrel. I hope to offset that disadvantage a little by using whatever is the best shot size from my I/C barrel for various birds. So, I'd like to know what size shot you'd use in my gun for hunting the following birds and what the longest range is that you would attempt with that size shot. (PS I can't use steel shot in this gun so assume you would use something like Remington Express lead shot for all birds except waterfowl, and something softer than steel for waterfowl.) Thanks in advance to all who respond.
