[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 588284, member: 6713"] Early season pheasants and quail I use 7's(imp cyl) if I can get them for the first barrel and 6's(mod) in the second barrel. Late season move to 6's and 4's same sequence only with on step tighter choke in both barrels.. This is with a 16ga O/U I read a study by the U. of Nebraska a few yrs ago on shot size and pheasant mortality. They concluded that size 7 shot was by far the most effective for early Roosters. The problem is you have to load it yourself since almost nobody loads it commercially anymore. (BTW how cool is it for a College to do that kind of study, instead of a study on the mating habits of the now extinct snail darter.) Kudos to the U of Neb The fellows I hunt with in SD use full chokes and it's always easy to figure out which birds they shot. They are the ones with the big hole thru them that we have to throw away. I have seen birds from the side as they were hit with a full choke and #4 shot from 20yds. You can see the front of the bird explode. Not saying anybody is right or wrong it just doesn't work for me.
