[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5851869, member: 1409"] Regardless of brand, when you see the words [I][B]"pheasant load"[/B][/I], you're probably talking a hyper-velocity shotshell! I also bought some of those Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads in #5 Nickel-Plated Lead. If I'm thinking correctly, the muzzle velocity is over 1500 fps! And, nickel is harder than copper, making them a heck of a long-range load for fast-moving game like pheasants. I only wish they were legal for waterfowl! But, when I patterned them, the patterns were very wild & inconsistent, which is less of an issue with fast-moving pheasants. Rule of thumb: The slower the velocity, the tighter and more uniform the patterns. I've been using the Golden Pheasant loads for squirrels. They are a heck of a squirrel load. [/QUOTE]
