Okay here is my unscientific test results.
 Had 2 boxes of each.
 4 trips to Ridgefield--amazingly  all out of blind 11.

3in  1 1/8 oz   #2 shot

First---  I have killed 4 times more birds with fasteel than All purpose. Could be me, :hunt2: or the shot. Most of my days seem equal on my effort.

second--- same range--birds die with fasteel--fly with all purpose.

Third--- Took the shells apart. Weights are in gr, because thats what my scale does.

Here goes------------

Fasteel  21 gr powder                              all purpose  17 gr
bb count  126                                                135
bb size   3.81mm                                         3.68mm
total wt of bb's  488gr                                462gr

so there you have it.
My personal experience: Fasteel kills more birds.
 I have not patterned both , yet.
 I shoot a modified choke.
It's not true that I am good for nothing---I can be used as a bad example!!
