Pheasant Loads

mossydan, I agree with the fun and economy of reloading your own shotgun shells – kind of like catching a fish on a jig you poured, painted and tied. I have not purchased a lead shotshell for hunting in 30 years. An old friend who did alot of reloading set me up back then with the recipe I still use today… same MEC 600 Jr. in use today – AA hulls, #12 charge bar with Unique powder, Remington RP12 wads, 1 3/8 oz. of shot (I like to mix equal parts of 4 & 6 shot)….

Hey barc, i’ve mixed shot too, it works. How about 4’s and 2’s for pheasants or ducks, or 4’s and bb’s for ducks or geese. 7 1/2’s and 4’s for long shot quail, it works! mix and match.

STEVE,
I HEAR YOU THERE. I HAVE ACTUALLY SAWED A BIRD COMPLETLY IN HALF AT CLOSE RANGE WITH THESE SHOULDER BUSTERS.

I use copper coated #4’s out of a Improved Cylinder choke. I use 1 1/4 oz. early in the year and 1 1/2 when they start jumping further out. The copper coated shot break allot of wings and with good dogs you won’t loose them.
