I use steel 4 shot 3 inch shells Never had any issues up to 40-45 yards

I'll throw my 2 cents in I hunt public land, always do, never private When I go on non-toxic properties, I use 3" 4 shot steel, when I am on CREP or WIAs, I use 2 3/4" 6 shot lead I think the biggest thing that wasn't mentioned in this, is the shotgun you have I have used my trusty 12 gauge 870 I got for my 12th bday 30 years ago Years of familiarity Experiment, try different loads, what you do best with your muscle memory Always love your videos Ron and knowledge Thanks for all of that!

$3-5 per entree? I grew up with lead-based paint (never ate it) and, in 76 years, I have never seen birds pecking at lead pellets on the ground

Non-toxic shot requirements thanks to lobbyists and bureaucrats Useless eaters

What about 14, 24 and 32 gauge

What do you think about older 10g shotguns with 2 7/8” shells? They can be loaded up or to 12g load data I’d like to take one of my older shotguns pheasant hunting We don’t have pheasant here so I’ll have to travel or do a guided hunt where they bring in birds

I love hunting and shooting game, but I'm not too big on cleaning birds My shotgun guage of choice is a 10 guage 35" magnum with 275 oz of FFF shot and full choke I have shot a few, but never had the problem of cleaning anything I just collect a few feathers😂😂😂 Jk Jk

do you handload shotgun shells

Right on Ron One can certainly get a lot of work done with a 20gauge and a 7/8 oz load at 1200 -1250 fps! Quality shot and wad make it a lot easier 😊

My grandpa had a browning 16 that was nice and light I've been using a 20 or 40 years

I use 75-8 shot in my 12 gauge for grouse hunting I find that anything shot that is bigger than that is too hard on the meat I would like to try a 20 gauge though

The only pheasants we have here are escapees from a private farm Other than waterfowl I hunt grouse for birds I make it simple, 12 g for everything

Excellent, rapidly paced and informative video I just picked up a very similar gun I noticed that you called out the powder charge in ounces I usually use grains ( volumetric ) from a black powder measuring tool Looking forward to shooting my "new" firearm

A ban on lead is coming in the UK Steel wounds game unless your shotgun can take 36g 4shot without destroying your barrel Pellets like bullets work by flattening and dumping energy, steel doesn't flatten Bismuth is fair, tungsten is fair Heavy shot worked but they don't make now as it killed barrels Lead has been used for years because it works

Only time i would want to use steel is for duck or geese If i'm pheasant hunting, i like to also take rabbits,squirrels and at times grouse if there is a population in the area The thought of shooting steel at the ground into brush and tree limbs is scary to think about bouncing back at ya
