Some advice

Richard, all I use for clays or upland is lead. I use ITX for waterfowl and TSS for turkey.

Most plated shot is very much the hardness of good lead.

What is the hype about useing nickle plated shot on pheasants ,
They say it just penetrates better and kills harder

My thoughts of not having a dog to hunt over , these wild rooster are getting up most times like 20 yards in front of me and then it’s a going away shot at 35 to 40 yards , I’m talking late fall or like now , they spooky ,

More choke, not plated shot.
