If you're shooting at ducks at 60yds with #4 (lead) 12ga...you're taking too long of a shot, and you would be very lucky to hit it with 2 pellets. 6-10 pellets? Not. And at 60yds, it's not likely you would get a clean kill. More like a broken wing or golden BB (head shot). In California, you can use shot size up to "T" shot. Larger than BB, not as large as Buck Shot. Typically, I won't even take a shot at a goose at a range of more than 30 yds. And I shoot 3" #2 Hevi Shot (12 ga). (heavier than lead, but non-toxic) It's considered "unethical" to take a shot at greater than 40yds. Tell your friends that. This is especially true when goose hunting. You can hit a goose at 60yds powerfully enough to wound it, but likely the goose will sail for quite a way (out of your sight) before coming down, and then die suffering in the middle of a pond. Either that, or you're feeding the coyote's.
