Is there a significant advantage of the copper shot over regular high antimony lead shot?

As you alluded to Scott the shots may be longer but that seems to depend on the terrain. Over the years we have hunted Sharpies and Chickens during our pheasant hunt in SD. If we can find the birds in cover you have a good chance of them holding, however they tend to like that open prairie grass where they can see a long ways which can be real frustrating hunting. In order to keep it simple and keep from shuffling shells and guns around I use the same load that I use for the Phez. RST, 1 oz of 5's in a 16 bore VH with tight chokes. One year the grouse were congregated in a huge picked corn field with lots of cover. A skeet choke would have worked that year, never seen it like that since.

Shots will be between 15 and 65 yards. Wind 0 to 30 or more. Temps then 25 to 80.
