[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1631345, member: 95733"] Been trying to find some fact based data on the lethallity of #4 copper plated lead shot VS #5 at 50 and 60 yards. In an 2oz shell there are darn near 26% more #5 shot VS #4 (340/#5 VS 270/#4) I always used #5 shot as a compromise of #s VS retained energy. Does anyone have link to any info or has read a legit study that shows that 3% antimony copper plated lead #4 shot has an advantage in retained energy at 50 and 60 yards significant enough to be worth using #4 over #5? Thanks, Art. [/QUOTE]
