    My season has started slow but my first southern trip of the year is fixing to start so things should improve.

    There isn't a double gun friendly 10 gauge 3 1/2 inch load I'm aware of anymore. The only ones I've ever known of were the Bismuth Cartridge Company one and the Federal Tungsten Polymer variety, both of which are long out of production.

    The bismuth factory shells were terrible, massively overloaded and hard on guns. They were so hot they'd make my Parker magnum 10 double discharge nearly every shot.

    The Federals were fantastic but only came in #4 and #6. The #4 was plenty enough medicine for decoying geese though. If you ever have the opportunity to pick any up don't hesitate.
