My go-to hunting gun is a 1925 VHE; 26" Vulcan barrels choked Skeet, Imp Mod. I have used it for most everything from ducks to doves to clays. I do shy away from extra heavy loads, but do use the rio elites often.

I bought some Boss 2 3/4" 1350 fps 1 1/4 oz loads. Just not sure that's something I want to shoot out of my VH......

Good grief!

What kind of monster birds do you expect to shoot with those loads??

Pass shooting Eiders or high-flying geese?

To be honest, if I could have found something around 1200 fps I would have bought those. I originally purchased with plans to shoot out of a Model 12.

It's hard to find good Bismuth loads, that are not amped up to 1300 fps or more.... Without paying $70 a box.

My go to upland gun is a Trojan 16g 28". I shoot Fiocchi SD shells and handloaded spreaders. No problems at all with the reasonable modern ammo and they kill grouse, mudbat, ditch chickens, huns, bunnies, squirrels,,,,,,,,
