I've shot up a lot of butcher paper on barb wire over the years with many different shotguns and faster ain't better. I look for 1200 FPS and pattern quality. I'm convinced good uniform patterns kill a lot more birds than fast. We patterned some of the screaming fast waterfowl loads a couple of years ago.......ugly. With some of the 1400 FPS stuff you can fly a small plane thru the holes and ragged dispersion of shot. Slow it down, try lighter loads of 7 1/2 and go back to the pattern board, try different chokes. Find some combination the gun likes before going back to the field.
