But then its' like I said in another post on this forum. Sometimes I think we over analyze these things. When I was a kid back in the 50's and early 60's we grabbed whatever shells were available and went hunting. Never gave it much thought and we still killed birds. And shells back then were about $3 a box. Considering inflation $15 a box today probably isn't too bad.

That's the right answer. There isn't a shell on the market, advertised for shooting pheasants, that won't kill them dead, and today's shells are miles better than the old fiber-wad shells of the past - which killed birds just fine.
If you feel better shooting 2 oz, or 1500 FPS, okay, but I'll take the experienced shooter with cheapo shells.
Possibly the greatest shotgunner alive today, maybe even ever, is a man named George Digweed.
