It has been my experience that using larger shot significantly reduced the number of cripples. I use qood quality fives for pretty much everything. I have friends who use 7s, 8s and even 9s on quail and are leaving more for the dogs to hunt up.. My repro is choked Q1 and Q2 and patterns so well that I have never torn up a bird with the larger shot.
