.....is the name of an interesting thread developing over on the 16ga.com site this morning:

If you are a follower of the 'low velocity' principle re: shotshell performance, you may find it worth your read.....or if not, for the conclusive photos alone.

It actually came about when one of the posters over there was recommending 3/4 oz. of #9 shot, pushed at 1500 fps, as the ultimate turkey-killing load, bar none. The low-vel principle has been around practically since the invention of physics, and can be found in the writings of Burrard, J.H.Walsh i.e. 'Stonehenge', G. Thomas, et. al. if you have access to those.

All Best,

Rob
