Todd, I will be shooting #7's this year thru my 20's. I have a thousand 3/4 oz #8's on hand, but picked up a bag of straight 7's a couple years ago, and will use them on this trip. Loaded up 200 7/8 oz of 7's this weekend using 20/28 powder @ 1150 fps. Increased the payload to 7/8 due to the larger shot size, and will expect there to be fewer cripples and more dead in the air birds with this load--probably adequate for early season released pheasants also
