Well I had a great dove opener and shooting that lead made me yearn for some decent duck loads. Anyone have good info on what to buy and where for someone with a limited budget? Thanks in advance for any help and I hope everyone is doing well out there.

Hey post away I'll still be broke unless the lotto hits! I know I can hit the birds what I hate is watching way too many keep going or crash land 200 yds away. I'll check out the links and post if I happen across any other good deals, Thanks!

The best waterfowl load I have ever shot is hands down Hevi-Metal. The 3" #2 absolutely crushes ducks and drops honkers like rocks inside 50 yards. I wish it still came in B shot. Seriously, I have shot everything in my time from the cheapest steel to 4 buck a shell loads. This stuff has performed and patterned the best for me with a Carlson's modified choke. Rogers has it for 199.00 a case with free shipping. If this is simply too rich for your blood, I second the Federal Speed Steel. 2 3/4 #4 is a good all around duck load, provided you can get them inside 40 yards. If you practice in the off season with your gun at a trap range, you should be able to kill ducks with this load.
