Geese are tough, probably just me but I use BB's as a minimum (BBB's and T's if I can get 'em cheap) for geese using steel shot. I use 2's and 4's for ducks. Tungsten 2's may work better as its denser. An improved modified choke should be sufficient. I cannot confirm, but I don't believe there is a standard measurement for choke size (the old adage that a dime doesn't fit in a full choke is only partially true).

And dove's are a much better way to determine hitting then clays. If you can redaily hit a dove darting everywhere geese shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately I didn't get out for dove this year. I'll have to wait for quail.

Happy hunting.
