When I was shooting a 20ga Browniing Lightning IC/IM the Fiocchi 2 3/4" 5's was my favorite and was deadly on wild MT and SD pheasants over our pointers. After going 12ga(it was lighter) I shot B&P High Pheasant 1oz 6's with no loss of effectiveness. Good dogs are more important that the load you shoot, the better the dog the easier shots you will have.

Wild Northeastern MT Birds, lightweight 12, 1oz 6's, super dog

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
