Spencer (and others)...
I prefer copper plated shot when pheasant hunting, it penetrates much better and doesn't drag as many feathers or down into the bird...also, 6's are usually fine early in the year when it's warmer, I switch to 4's after it gets cold and the birds have more fat on them.
I've shot a 16 ga. Mod. 12 for the last 20+ years and won't use anything else when it matters! Had mine choked, re-blued, stock refinished, etc. and it's absolutely the best shotgun I've ever owned...and yes, it is a smaller frame than the 12. Sure wish I could find an old beater (Mod. 12) in 20 ga. that I could redo the same way!
