    Anyone using a 28 gauge shotgun for Waterfowl.

    Hello all, I was just wondering. The last time I used mine was on a January hunt for Eiders. They readily decoyed to the layout boat, and I never took a shot unless the bird was within 15 yards. I shot Factory bismuth loads, and ITX reloads in 7/8 oz and 1 oz, respectively. Both loads were...
