Fiocchi Game/Target 16GT, 16 Gauge, 2 3/4", 1 oz, 1165 fps,

I have liked the performance of these for grouse and woodcock, I get them in #6, 7 1/2, 8 for hunting and clays, they are getting a little harder to find but a google search shows dealers, and I can still get them locally

although - they did miss a couple woodcock today
