Shot size - basic question

[Clark McCombe]

Thank you…
I have a .410 (not a Parker)��
Was wondering what might be better.
It seems the #8 for my 12 and 16 are fine.
Didn’t know if there was a fine distinction between 7 1/2 and 8 that good shooters recommended.
Somewhere I saw the quote
“Just shoot the damn thing.”
I think that’s what I’ll do.

I would prefer #8 in the .410 for everything but skeet where I would use #9. Anything bigger than #9 does not flow well in my .410 loader. I don't know what to do about that. I have filed, sanded, and waxed the shot tube, to no avail.
