goose loads

[TNR]

Since I dont currently reload, and dont plan to take it up in the near future (though I probably will at some point), what is the best factory available pheasant load that is clearly safe for an average vintage double?

I second the complaints about the "classic doubles" shells - it has been a common sentiment that I shrugged off but I am not impressed by knockdown power. I shoot a lot and am fairly proficient...

If I had a good 2 frame 12 I would try Winchester super X 1 1/4 5's or 6's or the Remington's... forget the name as I reload.
I did use the Super X's.. two boxes and they where deadly on crows
Shooting pheasant I've found requires you to take a shot at a going away bird never the best shot... fur or feather
