Over pointing dogs you can kill preserve pheasants with #7 shot but I would not choose to hunt these birds with only 3/4 oz of them at what I suspect will be a rather low velocity. I have hunted them successfully with an 1885 16ga Parker hammergun choked .020/.020 using 2 1/2 drams of FFG, fibre wads and 7/8oz of #6 in a Magtech brass case which I suspect would be closer to the original owner of the gun's choice of load.
