Huh???? #9 shot gives more pattern density than #7 shot through a cylinder choke, Larry?? It's a well known fact that larger shot size renders a tighter pattern than small shot. #9 might be more dense due to sheer number of pellets, but won't be as tight as #7. And along these lines, and if what you say is true, then why does RST make #10 shotshells to shoot through your favored cylinder choked guns, at Woodcock?? I buy most of what you have to say, but this one is a hard pill to swallow, at least for me. Plus, at say 15 yards, do you think 5 or six pellets of #9 shot would really tear up the meat of a quail or a woodcock more than say one pellet of #4 shot? I seriously doubt if the more #9's would be as devastating as a single #4 shot, but I must admit, I've never done the experiment, in practice.
