I cannot conceive any reason to use a 6 1/4 lb. or less shotgun with 1 1/4 oz. loads ............. even at pheasants........... even once per day. If I cannot carry a 7+ lb. gun long enough to to kill a pheasant I will gladly go to the truck.

Anyway, is 1 1/4 oz. load necessary to kill a wild pheasant? I seem to remember ChuckH doing a respectable job with a .410. Maximum in that bore is 3/4 oz., and he wasn't using that heavy a load, AIR.
