I loaded up some loads for pheasant hunting using Hodgdon's longshot for 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 oz loads. Longshot did not improve the patterns I was looking for so I stayed
with Alliant Bluedot and the now discontinued IMR-4756.
Longshot is surely "Speedy" but pattering is everything. I stopped using copper plated shot which is just soft shot that is copper plated. High antimony magnum shot I feel out performs most copper plated shot.
