Come on, Pete, the fellow Mr. Hammond states that his friend couldn't hit a thing with his #8 loads, and tore up the birds he did manage to hit, but when he got hold of some #10 shot loads, he was a candidate for the Olympic Gold Medal in skeet. He declared that he would no longer shoot anything but #10 shot. What a crock of BS. Those who support the use of a certain gun, choke, or shot size to the exclusion of all others have not yet learned to shoot a shotgun. They are spending way too much time reading Field and Stream and way too little time shooting a shotgun. Nothing has changed since Mr. Hammond wrote his little piece. The same thing goes on today on shotgun chat rooms. "I can shoot this but I can't shoot that." The truth is that they can't shoot anything.
