I must admit that before I became "enlightened" regarding low pressure loads I shot some pretty stout loads in everything that I owned. The bulk of the shells that I owned in the '70's through the '90's were "express" or "super X" or magnum of one sort or another. Then I began wild quail hunting on Eastern Shore with a 20 ga and cheap 7 1/2 or 8 shot. I was astounded to see clean kills out to 45 yds. with 7 1/2s!! Sometimes life teaches you as you go, but you have to be listening...!
