One thing I have noticed that I like better about using larger shot than 9s on quail ........ occasionally my friend will give me his birds, and I will often find 9s in the meat, that didn't pass through and exit. There is a drastic difference between the number of shot I find that are 7 1/2s or 8s. They almost always seem to pass through and exit our birds. And, I shoot a modest velocity load out of my little Fox ....... about 1145 fps. He's shooting 9s at 1250-1300 and many shot still stay in the bird.
Just my casual observations.
