If they are decoying I would use 7 1/2 trap loads and mod and full .
If they are not decoying good I would shoot a fast 1 1/4 oz load of 6 with mod and full or full and full.
My load for that stuff is a 1 1/4 oz of 6 in a Fed gold medal case using Longshot Powder at 1440 fps (Hodgdon)

when i am hunting in woods and not feilds i use the cheap 6 or 7 shot with a mod. choke. but when i am in the open feilds where shots can be long i like the faster loads in 5 or 6 shot with a full choke.
