I have lots of runners using lead (5, 6, usually and even 4s and 7.5s on occasion). Runners happen and pheasants are about 100 times as tough as a whitetail or an elk. They don't go down without a fight.

I feel that shooting ability matters more than shot type. That and avoiding long shots at well over 40 yds.

I think Kent Bismuth is the best choice although I've been happy with Rio and still have some of the old Bismuth shells left...Geo
