I bought 100 16 gauge Boss loads for ducks this year. Opening day my shooting was so horrible with my 16 ga. Remington 11 I quickly switched to my BSS 12 and did quite well with Kent Bismuth 5's. Not sure how I'll proceed with the 16 gauge Boss loads, but I believe my Iside can handle them for nontoxic pheasant loads. Seems I've grown apart from my old M11, and my BSS cemented its position as my duck gun.
