140 sounded low to me as my rotometals is 163/oz. But sure enough 1oz of boss 4s was exactly 140 pellets. None of them are round by the way, in case anyone was wondering.

My green with orange top Gatorade bottles do not leak. I even toss them in my upland bin on their side (full) and they don't leak. They are like $6

They need to raise prices but could donate $30,000 to non profs from sales of one product last month?

I was speaking more about the guys traveling for a week of pheasant hunting than guys hopping borders for a day or two. Generally speaking youll see more birds the first day in SD than you will all week in Iowa. Obviously there are exceptions, hidden public areas in iowa with fantastic hunting...

Its impossible for the DNR to get an accurate count. They do a roadside count which is dnr officers, biologists, mailmen, etc driving gravel roads and reporting how many pheasants they see. They then use math to try and determine pheasants per mile. They also walk fields on dnr land to count...

Whaattt??? Do you know how small a rooster heart is? With 1 1/2oz of lead 6s and a rooster standing at 30 yards i still wouldnt give you 50% chance of hitting it. Lungs are a sailed bird that dies 100-300 yards up ahead. Nervous system doesnt kill a bird, i guess you are talking hitting the...

This is a question for your vet

Dont forget the sausage/cheese baskets and favorite drinks for the farmers that let us hunt this past fall! I like to do it in May as that is planting season for most and they will absolutely appreciate the gift sitting on their porch with a handwritten thank-you note after a long day in the...

Lots of time in the field with dead birds and dummies with bird skins on them. Is the dog collar conditioned? My dog gets a bit wonky sometimes and tries to play with the bird, after force fetching i am now to the point where one quick nick and he picks it right up and that rarely has to be done...

Suppose a bruised cheek is a good thing to a point! Rather a bruised cheek than wore out legs and no birds 😂

I am only doing it to get 100% passthrough on my birds. Tired of picking shot out of every bird. Like already said, its great to have options. My shells are going to come in at $1.80ea. i couldn't afford a $9 shell.

You guys keep talking recoil, do you really notice it while hunting? I will be honest I dont feel a thing when looking down the barrel at a rooster and pulling the trigger. Never noticed it turkey hunting either, with 3.5" 2.25oz loads. Noticed it at the patterning board enough! Barrel jump is...

Interesting numbers on the KPY. Ive never messed with 1.75" much as we use 1.5" for ducks and that is what I have always considered good for pheasant as well. If 1.75" is more in line with real world penetration/lethality then that explains why guys struggle so much with clean kills and steel shot.

Rising going away is an easy kill, you have the head, neck, backbone. Level and going away you have backbone and thats about it as the head is protected by the backbone and the vitals are protected by the thighs. A level going away bird is typically a long shot as well. Oncoming is the easiest...

Found this archived if it helps Steel #2, 1450fps, 1.5", 46.2yds 1000ft abv Sea, 32F.

Those numbers do not seem correct. My KPY is on my laptop at home that I would need to dig out, but if memory serves correctly 1.5" penetration with steel 2 at 1400 is over 40 yards.. 46 ish sounds right. They sound correct for steel 5s though, as steel 4s is about 32yds for 1.5" at 1400.

What are the exact numbers to back up that claim of 6-7 yards? What shot size is that for and what are you using for required penetration? 6-7 yards is typical a whole shot size difference so why do you say it like that is nothing?... 5 yards per size is the general rule for steel shot. 4s to...

Its not possible without a duplex with steel shot. But tss is meant for subgauge when wingshooting. If you are shooting a 12ga you might as well shoot a heavy load of bismuth, just a waste of money shooting tss. 20ga is about the maximum bore for upland, as you can buy/load 3/4oz which is...

Im guessing he had too much choke. It patterns like a rifle, sub 40 yards a cylinder choke should be extremely tight. Mod will take a turkeys head off at 30yd so that should say something... Patterning it for duck hunting, i can say most guns would be perfect with cyl choke for pheasant...

If you buy the HW15 shot from BPI, its actually more expensive than buying TSS from a couple of the specialized tss sellers. I just have it left over so might as well use it up. I would love to shoot tss in my 410, however my 410 is a tubed 20ga gun and I cant run TSS in that. My next purchase...
