not that i can claim to be any expert
my normal for the uplands - back when we actually had grouse around here to run setters on, was 9's in the right tube and 8's in the left in the early season-
switching to 8's left and 7 1/2 or 7's if i had them later in the season - not because of the old tale about a grouse somehow getting thicker feathers in November vs October, but simply because the leaves were down and the shots were longer
Todd, if you test the 10's - a penetration on soft pine or a pad of wet paper might be interesting to see
