One day at the range, a guy stopped to admire my 590 shotgun and I let him shoot a couple rounds of low recoil buckshot out of it. He said he had sold his 12 gauge and handed me a bag with 40-50 Remington 3" steel T shotshells.
Dumb question is - since I don't hunt waterfowl - what are they good for besides helping me remember why they make low recoil buckshot?

Geese.
Or when running out of everything else.
Never shot much steel, wasn’t a waterfowler. If memory serves, IC is as tight as one was supposed to go re. choke with Steel.
Yes, this is a great shot size for geese, sandhill cranes, etc.
Load 'em up when folks want to try out your shotgun. It's that or hunt geese.
"Oh, this - it's called a Shockwave. No, it's not a sawed off shotgun, it's perfectly legal. How's it shoot? Well, let me load some shells and you can give it a try. Yep, these are just birdshot, no worries. Yeah, don't hold it in front of your face like that. Oh, you got this? OK. Wow, here let me help you up. Yeah, let's find your teeth..."Quote:

It depends on a few things. See the note about no steel shot larger than 4 through Carlson turkey tubes.Quote:

I would give them to a waterfowl hunter if I knew any here.Quote:
