Hunting, depending on the bird, I think I will go 1 1/4 oz and a very small increase in the Green Dot charge. Am ordering a bag of # 7 shot and working up loads to to use on Crows. 7 and 1 1/4 exceeds limits at most Clay target clubs, and lot more than needed for targets.

Scott and I shoot a lot of crows, hundreds for each of us each fall. We have tried shot sizes from 4's to 8's over the years. If you want the most effective shell for a crow at any range your shotgun can shoot go with #6 in any trap or skeet loading. You will see a noticable difference. Far more dead in the air folds over the smaller shot including #7.
