I have to say that 1500 FPS is just absurd. It seems that American hunters have been duped into thinking that faster and more powerful is better. I can understand that some areas are non tox only, but, even in those areas, when shooting steel shot at 1425 fps is fine and even at that speed the shells give quite a wallop. In areas that lead can be used I have never felt the need for anything greater than a 20 ga. shell throwing 1 oz. of lead #6 at 1200 fps for all prairie birds.
