When I was big in the REAL clay target games (skeet and trap) I kept 9’s , 8’s and 7 1/2’s at all times . Chilled 9’s for 12 and 20 skeet , chilled 8’s for 12 and 20 skeet doubles at all stations as well as 16 yard trap . Magnum 9’s for 28 and 410 skeet . Magnum 8’s for 28 and 410 doubles at all stations and finally magnum 7 1/2’s for handicap trap and trap doubles . When I quit the real games I went to 8’s almost exclusively for what little skeet/trap/sporting I shot . Now I shoot 7 1/2’s at sporting in all but the 28 and 410 I still use 8’s in the two little ones . And yes I now again keep 9’s , 8’s and 7 1/2’s but they’re all magnum shot now . FWIW when I started loading chilled shot was $9@ bag and magnum $1 more . Now it all seems to be pretty much the same price .
