yes you are wright,but not all birds are shot at 40 yds, I did test all loads 1 1/4 oz to 1 3/4 oz with 4s to 6s and i found in MY guns shot with highest %,1 1/2 oz 6s. i have yet to shoot beyond 35 yds ,yet, but i have been with guys that shot out to 60 yds on a departing bird (got it too) thats why i like higher pellet count. all my grandson's killed there birds with a 20 ga with 1oz 6s, Do you need 1 1/2 oz 10 ga to kill a bird ? Nope you dont, but it sure makes me feel better about using it. Remember it's not the hits in a 30 in circle its the hits in a 10 in circle.
