https://www.bandpusa.com/Shopping/index.php?cPath=1_2_4 These were once available in larger shot sizes, including US#7 and US#6.5 (Italian #6). In #7.5 they would be my first choice for all but phez. Out to 25 to 30 yds I'd use them on phez, too.

My Dad was in an accident and unable to shoot his Rem 1100 12 gauge without pain. I happened on a Rem 1100 28 ga and bought it because I always wanted one. After I got it home I realized what it could do for my Dad. I took him out to shoot it and no pain. I gave it to him that Christmas and he has enjoyed that gun for the past 5 years. I guess I am saying you have a great gun. If you see another let me know Wink.

We use Fedral Premium #6s for all upland birds. Turkeys, doves, pheasants, chuckar, quail, etc. For waterfowl we use some Bismuth, which I can't find anymore.?.
