new pheasant hunter

[chrisb]

My dad and I are going to be hunting pheasant for the first time this year. The areas i'm looking at hunting are non toxic shot areas. I am used to shooting #7 in lead when i shoot clays, but what does this translate to in non toxic shot like steel? Should i still shoot #7 or something bigger due to change in ballistic performance? Any help you guys can provide is appreciated.

I normaly shoot #4 steel and sometimes as big as #2 depending on how the birds are flushing.

Cool thanks guys. Where's the best place to get some? I'm betting Big 5 doesn't stock them

Bi-mart or maybe Walmart.
