If anybody has any serious concerns about the lethality of birdshot at the ranges the OP cited, they need to talk to a trauma doc or nurse at any large medical center. It is the wound they hate the most, one VERY few survive for long.
As for the poster who had trouble killing medium-sized varmints at 15 or 20', have you checked your shotgun's POI recently? That just seems all wrong to me; I've killed full grown coyotes dead dead at 25 yards with a 12 loaded with magnum 4s many times. Not to mention turkeys, which are tougher than many think. Sounds like you hit with the very edge of the pattern to me....
