I've shot a few. Mostly 3" #4's. I like the Kent Fasteel, but others work too. Kent makes some 2 3/4" steel loads in their Upland Fasteel line that would likely do ok. I also shoot 2 3/4" Federal steel #6 for pheasant, but those are planted birds and shots tend to be short. For wild pheasant I like the same load as I use on duck. Get the birds close and hit them, you'll kill ducks.
