pretty much my line of thought Dean- I used the smaller shot back then in areas where I had closer shots and over decoys
I seem to remember seeing more broken wings with the pattern density (although we are dating our selves here ) - so if it as not a clean kill (still the goal) at least a recoverable duck. I think Nice Shot is just a very little denser than lead - I still have some lead 4's - i will try to find some time to count out an equal number of lead and NS and weigh them to see what that shows. Then I will have a better feeling for the effectiveness of the 6's

I took 100 pellets at random
lead (from an old Remington express load) weight =315.3 grains NS - weight = 281.8 grains so NS is a little less dense - roughly 90% size - i took three pellets lead averaged .128 NS averaged .125 a PS - 97% of the lead size - so not enough to cause the weight/density variance I am guessing ducks will not know the difference assuming equal velocity I am NOT cutting a Kent TM open for this but according to other testers - TM is 10.8 g / cc and lead is 11.35 g / cc so TM is about 95% as dense - pretty close to NS ok - found this extra info - Nice Shot comes in right at 10.2 – 10.3 g/cc so- again very close to TM
