I bet the first shotshell company that offered 8 1/2 shot only did so to gain a leg-up on the other companys - to offer something nobody else did... not because there was a need for it.
What I’d really like to see some shotshell company come out with is 9 3/4 for woodcock. I’d like something finer than 9’s but 10’s just seem too ‘faddish’ to me...

HMMM Dean....Do you shoot much 7 1/2? That is a pretty popular size. funny though, it seems to stop there. I do not recall ever seeing 1/2 size shot larger than 7 1/2...….maybe 00 1/2 will make a big play for the home defense crowd! They seem enamored with flechette, rubber pellets, tracers and bolo rounds!
This though all reminds me of the old saying that fishing plug designers design fishing plugs to catch fishermen, not fish!!!
