This load chronos at just 1100 fps. I am certainly convinced that shot size matters. You'll not find me shooting quail or dove with smaller than #8s with a preference for 7 1/2's. #9s are for skeet IMO. Even trap birds won't reliably break with #9s from my 410.


Chuck this would mean 88 pellets (32%) in a 30" circle at 60yds. Am I right? Only a TOTAL
of 98.56 grains in all of the circle?
