RE: Velocity Vs. Penetration
UNCC, if your worried about not getting better patterns with using #5' s, then I would suggest using a different choke tube. The Tru-Glo strut stopper loves those Winchester 3" HV 1 3/4oz of #5' s!! This choke also can be shot with Hevishot. If your dead set on using #6' s, Mr. Longbeard has a great idea about switching to Remington #6 hevishot!! This will hit as hard as #5 lead, and with the pattern of the #6' s. You never mentioned what choke your using?
