Is this a decent load for pheasants?

I went to a certain retailer tonight, and they were almost completely out of pheasant loads. The only thing I could find was federal Magnum wing shok. 3 inch, 4 shot. Is this a good pheasant load? What does everyone shoot?

That load will be just fine. 2's can reach out a little farther but I use 4's quite a bit.

Would that be steel shot? Either way, I use #6-4 lead for pheasants. Steel or lead, that should be fine for pheasants. Especially early on if you are a decent shot.

it will knock them down no problem all i shoot is 2 3/4 inch 20 ga 7 1/2 game loads early season, 6 heavy game loads later in the year, no problem knocking down birds with the 7 1/2 as long as your dog stays by you. ive lost one bird ever at that was with the 6's so yes you loads will be fine
