16 Gauge

[oneidacountyhunter]

I just acquired a 16 gauge double barrel side-by-side shotgun. I would like to give duck/goose hunting a shot (no pun intended). Is this a good caliber or should I stick to skeet and small game with it?

Check first if your double is proofed for steel shot. That's the first hurdle. If it's not, you'll have to go with alternative non-toxics like Bismuth. The other problem is that with a 16 ga. you are going to find only a limited amount of factory loads, especially for steel loads.
