Just looking for some information on a good pheasant load. I have been shooting what was on sale when I needed more shells. I bought a few boxes of Wolf #4's that killed every bird I shot. I have tried a few others. The last brand I bought was Federal Premium Wing-Shok # 5 with a velocity of 1500 fps. I killed a few birds, knocked a few down that the dog tracked down, and missed a few. I think that with the extra speed they do not spread as much. One of the birds was shot at 15-20 yards and was torn up a lot by the shot.
Any thoughts on the Kent, or any suggestions? I can find Kent with 1 3/8 ounce of 4, 5, 6 with a velocity of 1450 fps for less then $12 a box, or 1 1/2 ounce of lead at 1400 fps for $14.
