That Federal 2-3/4” 1-1/4 oz #5 copper plated lead going out of a 12 gauge at 1500 fps is the most deadly load (for me) I’ve ever used for pheasants. I’m not a good shot but, with those, I don’t miss too often.
I like a good, higher velocity 7.5 shot out of my 20 gauge for ruffed grouse and woodcock. I miss those birds, especially grouse, very often.
