I am told that these shells are good enough for pheasant hunting. Looking for some help from any one that has hunted with these loads.

I hunt exclusively wild pheasant out here. The RST or any other good quality shell will work fine. Just look for a crossing shot and shoot for the head. I like the standard Federal Game Shoc loads for my fluid steel and damascus guns, but the RST's will work fine, too. Use a gun with some choke for most of the mid to late season birds out here unless you are lucky to get some snow and have them buried in.
