I will reload some 12 gauge from time to time... I don't shoot skeet or trap... I hunt grouse in the Wisconsin North woods... I have found the copper plated lead zips thru the leaves and small branches and can take out a bird a lot better than the plain soft lead shot. Copper plated shot in a light load in #7 can be a tough find and expensive when you do find it... Federal will load it in a special Quail Forever load. I tend to load some a little hotter for the late season incase I have to reach to the tree tops as they go over me.

I want to start flirting with non-toxic load for ducks... and do some roll crimping with ITX shot for ducks.

Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.

They only win.... when they cheat.
