Anyone shoot size 6 shot regularly for pheasants on here and what are your thoughts on it for ranges out to 40 yards? I have had some issues with 5 shot and wondered if the extra 80 pellets I would get with a 1 1/2 ounce load might help increase the kill zone some possibly. I shoot a modified choke and last trip #5 shot left too many cripples and blown out feather birds like I never saw before. Considering maybe also switching to full choke as birds I shot at averaged 35-45 yards consistently as they were pretty spooky.
