My Shotshell
How would you rate the following for upland bird hunting?:
FIOCCHI 12 Gauge, 3 inch, 1 3/8 oz., #3 shot, steel
I asked the same question in the waterfowling forum. I want to see if I can use this these shells for both.

RE: My Shotshell
I think it would be a fine load for Pheasants. I only use Fiocchi's Golden Pheasant loads for Pheasants. I use 2 3/4" shells loaded with 1 3/8 oz of #5. The load you mentioned should perform about the same. Make sure it patterns well with your specific gun/s you intend to use.
It should be OK for Ducks as well. I would use it more for decoying not pass shooting.
