I am a fan of bigger shot....When we hunt Kansas for wild roosters we also get into some bob whites. No time to change loads! So we shoot the load that's in the gun. I kill my bobs outright unless wing tipped. I miss very few wild quail but I shoot sporting clays regular. I love the HV-5 shot from Fiocci. I have only lost one bob to being shot up and it flu right at me and I shot as it passed....big poof!!, nothing to eat left. That has not happened since, I let them get out there, normally they fly away from the shooter and 5-s do not shoot-M-up. I also like 5-s they are easy to find when cleaning the birds. When hunting grouse I like standard field load of 7-s but don't have any factory loads except for some 2-9/16th B&P modern vintage load or Polywad spred-R. I use mostly 7 1/2 field loads for grouse and cock. SXS Ohio
