It would still seem, however, that a preference for "heavier" loads may have more to do with psychology than it does with ballistics. Heavier shot charges might occasionally "grind 'em finer" but it is less certain how many more hits or breaks that they might (that word, again!) contribute to under all but the most severe American trap and Skeet conditions.
If throwing 200-250 more pieces of shot at a target is only psychological, that's the route I'll go.
