For September dove I'm all about 9's or 8 1/2's or 8's .
For the middle and late season birds I think you need a slightly larger size shot , but no larger than 7 1/2 .
I only use 6's for things like pheasents and stuff that has hair .
The 4's are kinda more of an in case while deer hunting with whatever .
I likes to have me plenty of OPTIONS
