Been invited to go this fall in Missouri. I have only gone duck hunting once in North Carolina about 18 years ago.

I have two choices to take for a shotgun. A Remington 1100 and a Benelli Nova. I was given the Nova as a wedding gift since my wife's family are duck and goose hunters. Problem, in all honesty just don't care for the Nova. Would I be undergun using the 1187, or even pick up a 870 fro the trip?

What 12ga loads should I use for ducks? Is steel fine, or some other type?What size load? I remember using BB's back in Carolina and the worked fine.

Thanks for the help.
