Hey guys. I recently picked up a 20g O/U we talked about. I've never done any pheasant hunting, but I REALLY want to in the future.
I'm wondering what are good loads for them. Reason I ask, is I was in a local gun shop here in Alabama and ran across some Federal Ultra Clay and Pigeon loads. Marked at $54/case. They're 2.75", #6 shot, 7/8oz shot, and 2.5 dram powder. I picked up a couple cases of #7.5 shot for quail and dove here, and now they're out of them. I know 6's are good for rabbits, etc, but didn't know if those would be worth picking up for something like pheasants. If so I'd grab a couple cases.
