Brent, while we're on this topic, what are you using for bismuth and how does the mod barrel perform with it?

I've taken handful of woodies with 16 gauge bismuth in my old Rem. 11 which has .021" choke. (about IM) No complaints on the performance, but none were at long range.

I'm using 1.25 oz of #5s that I reload with either Blue Dot or Longshot. They are work supremely well on pheasants and mallards out as far as I want to shoot. In a pinch, they will also work on Giants in tight, but that isn't something I would make a habit of. The Modified barrel took down mallards at a bit over 30 yds easily. Pheasants further than that often. Sadly, the gun is being restocked in Colorado by SKB after I took a bad fall with it while pheasant hunting last winter on frozen marsh. I had bad knee issues which ultimately cost me big time. But the knees are fixed and in rehab, just like the gun, so it will be back out there again this year. And the bird populations are definitely looking up.

Uff-da. Sorry to hear of this, and I hope you both heal well.

We will, but it is frozen mud, not wet mud, that is the danger to double guns.

Dave, A sweet 16 is one of the few autoloaders that I'll take on a duck hunt...it's a 1956 that has been in the family since it was new...

 Excellent! Mine is a first year (1933) Remington 11, 16 gauge. They used a slightly slimmer frame on these very early ones. It's quite dynamic and points with the best of them. We've had many adventures across the span of 4 dogs.

Rubberhead are you hunting the Hell hole swamp. I used to live in Ladson and my friend Wormey lived in Schulerville.
