Jimmy,
Did it ever occur to you that maybe your "loose nut behind the butt" just wasn't as good as those who did the "kickin'? Unless the shooting was long-range handicap (maybe) it sounds like Mr. Walker got inside your head just a bit.
Obviously you never shot at the Grand or any other big shoot. And, I do shoot handicap when I shoot trap as most people do from time to time. But like I said, shooting with a smaller load is OK for funzies, but when you need to get serious, you had better get some shot in those hulls or you will be just throwing your money away. I do shoot skeet now with a 1 oz. load with #8 1/2 or #9 shot when I practice. But even at skeet, when I want to get serious, I'll go to a 1 1/8 oz. load. Sounds like someone is trying to tell me that I have a better chance of breaking targets with 220-250 less pellets per round. Hmmmmmm. Not hardly. Good luck.
