Looking for some steel shot for the .410. #4 or #6. Can't seem to find it anywhere and would like to get the girlfriend out for a duck hunt or two this year.

Use TSS, should be able to find it, and she will do much better with it.
I use a 28g with #9 TSS to shoot ducks. 85 yards is in range.
Not that I would suggest shooting at that range...but I've done it.
$8/shot on a duck hunt? Don't know if I could stomach that lol

6 is the smallest I've gone for ducks. Think a bismuth 8 is sufficient if shots are kept close?
