I use 3 1/2" Kent Fasteel BB for geese and Depending on time of season for ducks between the 2 3/4 - 3 1/2 I use 3's. I find the Kent BB is a nice load on geese all year around.

For duck I mainly use 3" #2, For geese 3 1/2" BB, but if we're hunting for ducks and have some geese come in I just use my 3" #2's, they do just fine. I use mainly Winchester Expert Hi-Velocity, they're cheap and you can get proficient with them just fine. I've never felt like spending the extra for Hevi-shot or Bizmuth etc. When you go thru almost a case a season, it's too expensive. Every now and then I catch the Hi-Velocity on sale and buy a case, Last case I bought I got a 6.99 a box. Alot better than spending $20-$25 a box. I haven't ever tried the Kent's, they pretty good? I've shot some Federal's and they were fine, but about a $1 or 2 more per box.

For ducks I use the old Hevi shot 4 and for geese I use Hevi shot BB and when I dont have any money for the high end loads I like the kent fast steel and man is it fast. and the kent 4 pattern just as good as lead. Those are the loads I use. if the ducks are close I'll just use a sling shot

3 or 3 1/2? if its a 3" then this is what I have found....
Winchester Supreme BB's
or
Kent Faststeel 1 1/4oz BB's (only the 1 1/4 oz load though the 1 1/8 has too light of a wad and the PM will rip the wad petals of from what I've seen from me shooting my PM out of my Gold)

28 guage Bismuth No Tox 4's for geese. 28 guage Bismuth No Tox 6's for ducks. 3/4 of an ounce of love.

Last Season for ducks I used the Remington Hevi Shot #4 and for geese I used Remington Heavy Shot #2 I really like those loads comming out of my Benelli Super Black Eagle 2. This year they came out with Remington Wingmaster loads havent shot them yet through the benelli but im gonna give them a try.
