Just a quick question for some of you guys who have more experience than I do.Where we are huntimg is a corn and soya combo(corn is not cut yet)ducks are are filling our limits but the geese just won't come down enough for kill shots,they are taking hits but not dropping.Using 3"BB and no luck.Wondering if the extended chokes would make a difference but at $100 dollars or so,is it worth it or should I just wait for the corn to be cut.Thanks

Cannot see the extended choke making any difference but picking up a box of T shot will make sure you are using a mod choke for steel however.
I normally use T for my third shot and it will smoke them no problem. good luck

10ga with said T steel. Reach out and let them know you care

A man after my own heart:D My third shot when pass shooting is always a 10ga duplex load of BBB with T buzzing over 1700 out of a browning gold . Not as good as the old BB 2 1/4 oz lead loads but the best I have found so far in steel.
This is one area where reloads work better than factory for sure:)

Only trouble with T size shot is your pattern density really suffers, I have only used it and seen it used effectively up close.

Total opposite for me up close I take the guts right out of the geese in the air. Over 40 yards deadly. It only takes one pellet and they are down with T. I normally use BB 1st shot, BB/BBB second and BBB/T or straight T for the last shot both for pass shooting and in the blind since the guys in the blind will not let me shoot until they are finished with their 12ga's so I do a lot of patterning and reloading knowing all of my shots are over 30 plus yards.
 
My experiences were with relativley tightly choked 12 gauges, not 10's which is probably the difference.

Still I would go with BB's and the extra pattern density they provide in one of the big hulls.
 
I am very close to giving the Wad Wizard extended choke tube a go.... The reviews seem very favourable and some of our fellow CGN's seem to really like them too... I was just researching them a bit today and didn't realize that they are good for all types of shot including steel...

Yes sir you are right on. Cannot even compare a 10 to a 12 3 1/2. I have one of each in browning gold and the 10 just patterns so much better with the bigger shot. I use the 12 for ducks and the 10 for the geese most times. On the wad wizzard just had experience with one for the 12ga. For my gun it didnot pattern any better than the factory browning choke and actually split one cold morning.
 
I hunt with a sxs 10ga so I don't have the 3rd round but my 34" full barrel gets BBs and the mod gets T shot. I shoot both ducks and geese with this gun. Love he echo off the steel breakwalls. Like you my buddies shoot first with the fancy 3.5" 12s then the 10 speaks followed by a splash. A 10ga due to the larger diameter works much better then the longer narrower shot colume of the 12ga with bigger shot. I've dropped ducks and geese at 60-70 yards whereas with my 12ga I'd never take that shot. For 20-30 yard shots on ducks I use 2 3/4" kent fast steel #2. Works and patterns great but it usually takes 2 shots to bring down a big canada goose.
