“Biggest” pheasant load

[Speaks]

Mostly use a 20 ga and am fine with 5s or 6s lead. Generally an ounce in either 20 or 16 and 1 1/8 if I break out the 12. I tend to prefer lower velocity rounds for better patterns.

#5 lead year round in both 12 and 20.
I'll occasionally use 3 bismuth if there are ducks in the area.

2 3/4 5 or 6 what ever is cheap alot of times it will happen to be what ever is in the center counsel while out driving around and seeing a chicken in the ditch

5s early 4s then. Shot all 4’s this year and I think I’m going back to 5s. More pellets for some of those poor shots.

Winchester Super X 1-1/8 oz #6 out of a 16 gauge is pretty much all I shoot. If I'm on an area that requires non tox I'll use Boss #5s. If I miss them with either of those, a bigger pay load wouldn't change anything.

Heavy dove loads, 1/1/8 in 12 ga, 1 oz in 20 #6 lead shot all we need inside 40 yds, beyond that we let the birds go for next time.
