For what it's worth I always found 5/8 oz loads of nickel plated 5's stone dead killers in the 28 ga. You may miss a little more but it seems like they penetrate and kill like no kind of lead load. One nice thing on quail and dove is that they seem to shoot completely through and even one hit is generally lethal if through the body or head. Makes the game a lot easier to get to the table. I really like nickel plated shot for hunting.
