    SO, my daughter inherited a pair of Winchester 21's. One is skeet, so we should be able to shoot just about anything. She wants to duck hunt with the gun that is full/full. What loads can she shoot through this one?

    I'd be careful about shooting duck and goose loads through an older gun. The shot is steel, bismuth or some other wonder material and can damage older barrels. You might want to do some research on what you can and can't shoot.

    That’s what I’m doing!!! 21’s are proof steel. Bismuth should be good. I didn’t realize it was available again!

    Third call for Bismuth here. RIO is even manufacturing bismuth shells now. Likely to be cheaper than tungsten steel loads in the near future.

    I know Remington says nothing greater than #2s through their fixed fulls if using steel.
