Have killed hundreds of pheasants over the years with copper or nickel plated 7-1/2s out of a 20 ga. Late season usually 6's and occasionally 5's. Mostly 1 oz loads, but occasionally 1-1/8 and even 1-1/4 oz magnum loads. Since I hunt over a pointer/retriever range is usually well under 25 yards. Never had a reason to completely penetrate any bird...getting the pellets into the vitals is top of the list in my book.
