Wonder how the wind is going to be. I usually shoot 7 1/2 but if we have some <5mph winds I might use 8 shot."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

All my 12g stuff is 1 1/8 oz of 7 1/2 shot with two different options in powder. My 20 is 1oz of 8's"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

I don't bother to load dove rounds, it's cheaper just to buy them (well probably not since I have a shitload of 7 and 8 shot) but I only found buckshot to be worth the time to hand load.Originally posted by dee View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I split a large shipment of shot up with some people which helps, besides those are my trap(12g) and skeet(20) loads so I'm not loading anything special just stuff I already have."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Well, I guess it's time for the mandatory inquiry on who has the cheapest case of #7 shot this year.
Year before last I bought a case of 7 shot from academy for $39.00 and last year I bought a case of federal 7 shot for $29.00"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
