Dean,
It may just be me, but I always want to kill game stone dead. When you hit them with slow moving loads it kills them no doubt due to the number of hits. But they flop around, and to me that is an agonizing death. Maybe just death throes, and maybe already dead, but I don't like it.
When I hit them with the high velocity stuff, especially hevi-shot at high speeds, they do not move. I've gotten soft in my old age but I hate wringing necks of game birds to put them out of their misery. I've seen friends quit hunting in their older age because they did not want to kill any more animals, and am now getting somewhat in that category. I thought about this bird I killed yesterday. He had a nice harem, and was living a great life until the sixes hit him in the head. Just like to kill them like they do on the tv commercials advertising tight choke tubes. Dead as a doornail with no movement.
I probably should back up to a lighter load for these desired results.
