    rather funny isnt it how folks look at bird shooting from completely different angles???
    one bloke wants as tight of pattern as he can get...perfectly round hard shot
    next bloke wants open scatter pattern and the softer shot deforms better
    another wont care whats in gun as long as it goes bang and bird drops

    fella with two barrels can have one of each ..and by playing musical chokes can make it even more so.

    phesants arent armour plated and #6 lead has pretty much been the standard for years....Ive shot only a handful biggest shot was #2 lead and smallest would be #3 steel..... they arent hard to kill if you can hit them.
