I have seen this loading in the past. That shot size has been available for reloading for quite some time. It only makes a difference in the users head and with my shooting not much there either.

I use it for early season doves in small gauges with open chokes. It gives more pellets than 8s when only shooting 3/4 oz. in 28 and 1/2 ounce in .410. As the birds get wiser, faster, and bigger I stop using it. But I loaded it in 16 and used it this season and noticed almost every dove I brought down with it was still living. So I quit using it this year for doves in 16. Went to 8s and 7 1/2s.

I’ve used it when nothing else was available. I works fine.

I've loaded my 410 skeet loads with it and it works fine on quail.
