I use 1oz of lead 6's(B&P High Pheasant) in my 12ga upland sxs's and 7/8oz of ITX 6's and 1 oz of Bismuth 5's in my waterfowl 12ga. In the 16ga 3/4oz ITX 6's for waterfowl and an oz of handloaded lead 5's for upland. These work just fine for me. I will say that the 1oz 2 3/4" 20ga Goldern Pheasant round was stellar the one year I bothered taking a 20ga MT a 5 lb 15 oz 12ga sxs became my goto upland shotgun and all else for gotten.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.
