But it didn't quite work out that way ! I was hitting the birds with the 5's but they were knocking feathers off and the birds kept going . So I switched over to the little Browning and got the last 6 birds with 9 or 10 shots .

I looked on a shot table a little while ago . An ounce of #8's is over 400 , 1 1/8 ounce of #5's are about 200 pellets . I'm hoping the owner will ask me back this coming saturday and if he does I'm taking a pair of 20 gauge superposed and my 20 gauge Sterlingworth . I was shooting the cheap Winchester Dove and Quail loads with 7/8 ounce of #8's and they were laying the smack down on them ! My farmer friend only hunts this field one day a week , so the shoot we did saturday was the third since the season opened ! It just might be good one more saturday ! Incidently I would load some more of my light 16 gauge shells but the reloader I was using went to my friends son after his passing and our distributer has yet to ship me a 600JR !
