Sorry about your snow, Battue. Will it likely melt before spring? Hope so.
I have been having a terrible time with shooting this year. I feel like my accuracy is off, and when I do hit a bird, nothing dies solidly. I have had to ring more necks this year than ever before. I have been using Herters this year as well. I wonder if that is part of the problem?
It has been my problem, I can tell you that, for sure. The chart posted earlier which shows the lack of antimony in their shot confirms the matter for me.
