Well said, Frank. Heck, you can kill a grouse, duck, or whatever with a 410 under some circumstances. How many cripples occur when the shooter thinks he missed cleanly. Quite a few. Far to many folks measure shell performance based on clay target performance. Clays and live birds are to entirely different animals. I examine every grouse I shoot for pellet performance and there is no substitute for using enough gun and large enough shot. Leave your light and slow loads on the clays field. Hunting is all about the welfare of the resource.
