I've never lost a target or a bird because my shells were under 1200 FPS. Your stocks will thank you. If you don't have 1 oz wads, you can use filler wad under your shot to build up the column enough to achieve a good crimp.

Can I get your thoughts on useing lead , nickle plated lead , or copper
Is it worth paying the extra money for nickle plated
I’ve been using them , I got a friend who says I’m crazy to buy that when copper is everybit or better and way less money ,

I’ve up my shot also to a min of #6 and I’m my 20 gauge , it’s #4
These wild rooster are tough and get away from me fast ,
