This one's about shooting driven pheasant, but at around the 4 min mark the talk turns to a 16ga O/U and the use of a 25g shot charge. Forget those 15/16oz and 7/8oz imperfect loads, this one's just enough more than the latter to fill out a pattern without ruining the whole thing by over-loading the 16ga bore with a full 15/16oz. Could be the key to better shooting!
Or, just enjoy the shooting video for what it is.

oh no...Another fan of metic-
so are you going to rename the gauge of your shotgun, how many balls of lead 26.83mm in diameter are there in one Kilogram? Go ahead and shoot 23 grams in your 35.2 metric gauge shotgun- but for me, that is just WRONG. |

| I misread- 35 gram; but the gauge, that is the number of lead balls 26.83mm in diameter to make 1 kilogram would be 35.2; so to round it off, your 16 ga would become a 35 ga ; somehow it just doesn't have the same ring to it. |
