First couple of years I shot #9 out of the first barrel and #8 out of the second. Way too many cripples and broken wings with #9 but most birds I ended having to kill by hand. #9's ok for Woodcock but not enough for grouse. Today I use #7 almost exclusively.
It's hard to beat a 20 g V-grade for an all around gun. Like the stories and photos, the gun is truly priceless. No money can ever replace them.
