Glad to see someone took my advice. Don't forget to take the wadding out and empty the shotgun powder before you dispose of them. I think they are perfect for the job and providing you're careful there's no worries.
Not experienced any problem with getting lead shot but I'm sure some health & safety meddler will want to ban them. Usually the pheasants die of the impact not lead poisoning!
