I'll let you in on a secret.

Don't tell anybody.

The key to a great patterning 'Super Pigeon' load is the Remington SP-12 wad - and high quality shot of course.

Remington hull, W209, 24.5 Herco.

Looking for a low pressure 1 1/8 oz load for pheasants, I found this one:

Fed Gold Medal hull and primer, 21.7 grains Unique, Fed 12S3 wad. 7,000 psi, 1150 fps. Patterns really well. You can substitute 19.5 gr Green Dot, but that adds about 1,000 psi. I've used that load with Unique in 2 1/2" 12's. Really good results, both on paper and on pheasants. In short 12's, I usually use a Gamebore Pure Gold 1 1/16 oz Brit 6 load in the R barrel with that Fed reload in the L. Haven't used it as much lately, having reverted to the 16 most of the time for pheasants.

Early woodies, teal, and a few mallards. Anyone try this load?

Thanks, Brent! That's what I was hoping to hear. I can't see why it wouldn't be a good early season load. rrrr!

It is a fine late season load as well. Gotta love #5s for ducks or pheasants anytime, anywhere.

they will work in a Giant Canada too, if in a pinch. wink
