HEVI-Hammer is a premium, but relatively affordable, goose loadGUNS AND AMMO
As medium-sized geese, specks are not as hard to kill as large Canadas, but it still pays to shoot the best ammunition you can afford. Ongaro swears by #2 loads of HEVI-Shot’s HEVI-Hammer—a premium, but relatively affordable, load—for all his goose hunts. He also recommends shooting through improved cylinder chokes. That flies somewhat in the face of tradition, which suggests using a tighter choke, but when you’ve guided hunters to as many geese as Ongaro has, I’d suggest his advice is worth heeding.
