KY my thoughts on the 9s were that they would lose energy faster. That is, a #9 pellet loses velocity faster than a #7. I thought perhaps the 9s would lower the chance of inadvertently hitting and injuring a bird at the far side of the fleeing covey when I was shooting at one in the near side. The little 28 throws a really tight pattern at 23 yards (the maximum target distance at my local pistol range).

The RSTs I was shooting were 1175fps. I suppose I could go to a lower velocity load and a larger shot?
