Low Recoil Shotshells verse modern

[Pheasant Slayer]

Thanks, for the info. I am interested in the low pressure shells for the guns sake more so than my own. I have a 1924 VHE that I picked up a few months ago. Right now I am having it stripped cleaned and a new pad put on. I have not even fired it yet. The gun is a 1 frame, 12 GA with a straight stock, very light. Should give a pretty good wallop. Plan on using it for hunting pheasant.

William,

I have two #1 frame 12 gauges. If I am shooting sporting clays, a 7/8 oz load is about all I want out of those lite guns. If I were to shoot pheasant, I think RST's 1 oz of #5's or 6's at 1175 fps would be just about perfect. If I could afford it I would shoot nothing else than RST's. Their shells pattern better and recoil less than anything I can produce at home.
