Ed:
At today's prices for shot, that's a significant factor. But when I load more 3/4 oz ammo, I'm going to try 8.5 shot (or no. 9?) instead of 8. A few more pellets may help pattern density for the same charge weight. But it's probably all in my mind anyway. Targets break well with No. 8.
BTW... all my cartridges were loaded in 2 3/4 AA hulls... and shot in 2 1/2 inch chambers.
Best, Kensal
