7s in the first barrel & 6s in the second for upland

I know where you are coming from Toby, two boxes should give you your limit for several days of the season...these guys that buy 500 for opening weekend either have massive allowable limits or are rotten shots.

To be fair, I am still using the same 4 boxes of 20g ammo I brought for ducks/pheasants 4 years ago. I shoot a lot of ammo at clays but nevr have much luck on the duckies and pheassies. Shooting spots are hard to find and the duck numbers are nothing like Canterbury (where I grew up). Still fun getting out though

I shoot pheasants through the bird season.Shoot forestry and private farms in the BOP if I can get access. Favourite load Federal PF154 2 3/4" #6 and #7.5. Very fast and hard hitting copper plated lead-1550ft/sec....just don't shoot em too close!
Shoot about 50 birds per season although I only shot 27 last year....bloody herbicide use in forest killing all the inkweed/blackberry! Use less than 4 boxes/season and I'm not that good a shot

Game bore super steel 2 3/4" ( 1 1/16oz) No 3#'s..... For everything... None will miss a bird.
Because my shoulder is too rooted to shoot this year !! Mine will have to keep until next season.
Good luck to all.
