Replacement,

Same deal here in WA; non-toxic only on pheasant release sites (pretty much all of the public lands). I bought a Benelli Ultralight just because of it when the law kicked in. Started with steel #4. Nothing hit the ground dead. Luckily I have good dogs. I settled on 1 1/4 oz. 3" steel #3 shot, which does the trick. I don't notice the recoil. Now I shoot Bismuth #5 shot, 1 oz., in a 20 gauge double or O/U. Works just fine.
