Blowing the pattern?

We had a CSMC 28 gauge with skeet and IC chokes (measured as such). Wife shot the Win factory 1 OZ loads of 6 shot. Those Pheasants dropped like Thor's Hammer hit em. All shots were at 25 yards over dogs. The recovered pellets had a fair amount of distortion which prob contributed to killing power . Generally 8-10 pellets in each of the birds. Might try some of these shells.

Your next project is to find out where the rest of the shot went. 7/8 ounces at 1300, I'm surprised that your little Repro is still in one piece. Guns like yours are meant for 3/4 ounce at 1200 fps. With some tighter chokes, 3/4 should kill a pheasant if #6 shot is used.
