Thomas,
I only wish. Look closely at the picture and there are four empty hulls. Two more were somewhere else. It was miss/kill, miss/kill, wound/miss. Last one was same bird twice with hits, but he would not fall. Autopsies of the birds revealed that American E, a tungsten polymer, does not have nearly the energy of hevi-shot or lead in my opinion. The penetration was barely into the skin at 30 yards, where hevi-shot in 4s would have been driven deep. Of course, the fps is a whole lot less on the low pressure/low velocity loads and really may be what was to blame.
