For pheasant in my 12, depends on how open the area is. If it's a little close, I'll go with high brass 6 (1 1/4 oz., I think) in both barrels. I've got a box of the old Remington Duck and pheasant loads in 6 that I'm working on. Open it up a little and I'll go to the same load of 6 in the right, and of 4 in the left.
For grouse, it's usually 2 1/2DE- 1 ounce of 7 1/2 RST in both barrels. Sometimes a 2 1/2 DE - 1 oz. of 6 RGL in the left. If by chance I'm using the 16 for pheasant, I'll go with the RGL 6 in the right and a reworked RGL (change out the shot) with 4 in the left.
Woodcock, whatever's loaded for grouse.
