Feel the same about 9's, Stan. Have several cases of old AA's in 9's. They are fine for quick, close shots at sporting clays. One year I shot them on grouse, and I had to throw away too many breasts, they were just shredded. Straight #7's make a really effective killing load.

I like to simplify things as much as possible in life. I shoot nothing but 7 1/2's and tight chokes. 9's to me are cripplers on game and targets. Putting more pellets in a load doesn't make it a more lethal load . Putting the shot charge slightly ahead of the bird is what makes X's.
