shot size for pheasant?

[fabsroman]

If I didn't load my own shells, I would purchase high brass shells for hunting. Simple fact of the matter is that low brass shells can be loaded plenty hot for pheasants, but the old concept of high brass for hotter loads has stuck with a lot of people, so the manufacturers continue to use it for shells that don't necessarily need it.

Anyway, #5 high brass would do just fine for pheasant hunting, especially with that single shot modified gun you have. I remember when I first started hunting pheasants. I was using a 20 ga. single shot in modified. Those were the good old days.
