While I enjoy shooting RST shells at both targets and small birds, I have had very poor results with them on wild roosters. The last rooster I shot over my first bird dog Maggie was with some RST shells I had them load for me specifically for pheasants. I requested a 1&1/8 oz of 5's at 1200 FPS....I'm pretty sure I got something much slower. That last bird was incoming, breast on, at about 25 yards. The bird went down but was not dead. The old girl worked it out and we put the very alive rooster in the bag. Upon cleaning it I found the pellets on the TOP of the breast meat. I have not used RST on anything bigger than Grouse since. YMMV.
Gotcha there! Still it would be nice to have pressure information on the H&H shells.
