Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game 16 ga pheasant/sharptail load

Used my Browning Citori 16 GA for my last pheasant trip to Kimball SD. Used Fiocchi #5 lead and Federal #6 lead, both 1-1/8 oz. shot. Could tell no difference in effectiveness between the two loads (shooting the factory IMP CYL tube in my bottom (first shot) barrel and MOD in my top barrel). I think both factories listed the load at around 1300 fps. My kill ratio was the same as when I shoot my 12 GA with #5 lead there.
