Kent Tungsten Matrix 5's or 6's in my doubles.  Expensive, but I hate steel with a white hot hate.

I shoot a 20ga & I pheasant hunt w/Federal® Prairie Storm™ Flitestopper® Steel in #3 & 4 shot. It's amazing stuff.

 :yeah:
Me too.... I love 'em

I use Winchester steel (the cheap stuff) 2 3/4 #4s.  I think they are 1 1/8 oz.  Improved cylinder choke.  None of the roosters I shot last week seemed to notice I was shooting cheap steel.

That is what I use too. Seem to work well for me so far, but I have only shot 2 birds with them.

sold on prairie storm and black cloud. I have been shooting 2 and 3/4 #3 black clouds on the west side. on the east side for pheasant I use prairie storm #5's in barrel #1 and #4's in barrel #2. modified and full choke. although this year I would like to go modified in both barrels for the east side. I agree with featherduster about not liking steel. steel shot is just not enough power. I have started using the better ammo's.
