I agree with swamp hunter if you know you have wounded a bird thats not going to live why would you not empty the gun trying to finish the job.

I get 223 hits average at 40yds. 10" circle shooting hevi13 #6s. MagBlends get 253 hits average. This is out of a SX3 Winchester. I have only tried 3" shells.

Cahaba,  what brand and size choke are you using ??
