Has anyone seen what patterns the Super Vinci throws with Federal 3 1/2'' BB's for Geese? Thinking bout getting rid of my Browning 10 semi auto and SBE 1 to upgrade to the super Vinci but I haven't heard much feedback on it. I have a Cordoba in 28'' and it is deadly with Blackcloud with a Cylinder choke and the comfortech system makes a big difference. What are your thoughts?

For a dedicated goose gun going to be hard to beat the bigger bore. I personally haven't heard of any of the 3.5" shells patterning as well as the 10ga, regardless of gun.
I hope that helps...

Out of the box I'd agree with Judd that a 12 may not pattern as good as a 10 but if you spend a bit of time patterning the 12 (like it sounds like you are already thinking about) you will be on an even playing field with a lot more shell options with the same speeds and sizes. You'll also pay less for shells.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

For goose hunting, I won't be getting rid of my 10's. I reload 10 ga steel @ around $11.00 a box. I have patterned a lot of 12's. Not saying there's not a few out there, but I have never seen a 12 ga that even comes close to patterning as well as my 10's do. P.S. I would never part with my SBE I either. (and if you decide to sell yours, give me a pm)

If you can't kill geese with a 12 you aren't decoying birds!!
Haven't had a 10 gauge in the spread in 3 yrs. But then again I think 3 1/2's are overkiill too.

Just saw you were from west Texas and just don't know any better. Heck, a 12 gauge is overkill on those dumb canadas. Might as well use a baseball bat.

Maybe I will try a bat this year!! Sounds like a challenge!!
Done my fair share of killing whitey with both a 10 and 12 over the years. Both canada and the ol prarie.
Still say you can kill a white or dark goose just as good with a 12 as long as they are decoying. More shell options, easier guns to handle and every walmart/sporting goods store sells 12 gauge. Usually cheaper too!

Huh you must be doing something wrong I shoot a ton of white geese all I need is a 3 inch 12 gauge . Ever thought it might be you that makes them white bird smart . Just because you shoot a 10 guage you think you can shoot geese at 80/90 yards there is the whole problem . [img:center]http:// [/img] [img:center]http:// [/img] [img:center]http:// [/img]

I think the original post was wanting feedback about the Vinci and Blackcloud. I didn't ask anyone to puff their feathers up. Thanks for the info though.
