Hard #9's are all that I ever reload for Skeet--prefer it to any other size. It sometimes does bridge in the .410 and 28-ga. P/W drop tubes, so I too; bump the loader with the heel of my left hand upon dropping the shot. I prefer 7 1/2's and 8's for Sporting Clays, 5 Stand and Trap and the same for Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock.
