I’m looking at buying a Beretta 409 12 gauge that’s in great shape. Has 30” barrels choked mod and full with double triggers. My thoughts are to use it as my pheasant gun. I have a very nice 30” LC Smith in the same configuration and have RST shells on hand in #5 and #7.5 but my understanding is that the robust design of the beretta can handle modern pheasant loads without incurring wood damage/issues. Just curious if others have had success with more modern (I.e. higher pressure) loads in the 409 platform. Thanks for any input.
