[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5354807, member: 2805"] I guess theoretically, yes... but in actuality, not so much. My 10g with 2.25oz #5 lead (for the first 2 decades) gave me an effective range of 40y. The last few years I went to #7 hevishot... and that was a gamechanger. No difference in pattern or performance of the 10g 3.5in #7 hevis vs the 20g 3in #9 tss... but sure is easier to tote all day and hold on point when a bird is working! Still limit my shots to 40y, and all my kills this year were under 30 except for my son's, who's ended up being 43. Now way back in the day I hunted with a 3in 12g #5 lead. Effective range with that set up was 30 to 35y. And I lost more than a handful at 35 unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
