That's funny that you brought that up about 9's Frank. A few of the shooters swore by the Federal pigeon load of 3 1/4- 1 1/4 of 9's in their first barrel. You could get away with that in moderate temps. but once it got cold and blustery they did'nt perform as well on the birds. Their goal was to just knock the bird down in the ring with the first barrel then anchor it on the ground with the second barrel.
Also interesting to note Dave that the pigeon load in your chart was only offered in 7's and 7 1/2's.
