    12 Gauge For Grouse & Woodcock

    We hunt them with 20 gauge's with Improved Cylinder Hevi Shot Pheasant 20 gauge 2 3/4" 6's. I absolutely love the 6's and being able to use the 20 gauge is super fun.

    Scheel's Pheasant Max loads

    Than are not Hero Shots if you use a high quality shell. The Hevishot Bismuth Upland is what our club has gone too. They are great for older shotguns and the range combined with the energy they hit with is a lethal combination. I prefer to use to my 12 gauge but often switch to my 20 gauge...

    I like a mod or IC depending on the conditions but think that the Hevishot Hevi Bismuth is absolutely the best upland load that I have ever used. They are what truly "pummel's" pheasants.

    Best lead shell for 12 ga. on wild pheasants

    yeah, it costs more but I don't shoot as many shells when using it I just bought some more of the Hevi Bismuth to use shooting woodies next week I am excited to be able to use the old Winchester 20 gauge that was handed down to me with the Hevi Bismuth I will let you guys know how it does

    Best lead shell for 12 ga. on wild pheasants

    I used the Hevishot Mid Range choke in my Beretta while pheasant hunting in Kansas. I use the same choke in my waterfowl A400 for decoying ducks. I love the Hevishot chokes as well as the ammo

    Try the Hevi-Bismuth on your older shotgun.

    Best lead shell for 12 ga. on wild pheasants

    I am becoming a huge fan of the Hevi-Bismuth. They hit hard and really reduce crippled birds

    Hevi-Shot Hevi-Metal Pheasant Loads

    Thx Tbear but after what I saw from the Hevi Bismuth, I am sticking with those I just could not believe how cleanly I was able to take the flushing roosters even out to longer ranges. We did not lose a single bird which is huge for us

    Hevi-Shot Hevi-Metal Pheasant Loads

    Never heard of BOSS. I like the fact that the Hevi Bismuth is easier on older shotguns as well. I have an old Browning my Papa gave me that I would like to shoot quail with so the Bismuth should be awesome for it

    Hevi-Shot Hevi-Metal Pheasant Loads

    Our group shot Hevi-Bismuth Waterfowl shells (while pheasant hunting) 3" 6's and we wore them out. We did not lose one rooster I am going to try them duck hunting in Nov.

    28 gauge for early season pheasants

    I have several hunting pals that have gone to smaller gauge guns. They have all opted for higher end shells to make up the difference. I picked up a Beretta O/U 20 gauge and some 20 gauge HEVI BISMUTH.

    Hevi-Shot Hevi-Metal Pheasant Loads

    So many hunters do not realize that NON-toxic loads are required on most if not all Federal hunting land. I switched to Hevishot years ago and have used nothing but Hevishot since. I find that the range, knockdown power are unmatched + they are non-toxic

    Hevi-Shot Hevi-Metal Pheasant Loads

    I agree Dakota. Hevishot has a new upland Bismuth shell that I am going to use this FALL in the Dakotas. The higher quality shells do perform better despite what some might have you believe
