Years ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to gun Springer Field Trials. We all shot 1 1/4 oz loads with tight choked guns. Obviously, we were shooting for the dogs, but our job was to kill the birds cleanly as far from the dogs as possible so the dog's marking and retrieving could be evaluated. Many of us had our own handload recipes and shot different loads in the first and second barrels.
