How is the gun choked? 2¾", 3" or 3½"? If MOD or FULL go with Hevi-Shot® #5 or 6 Shot.

I imagine BBs are too large to legally shoot in most states.

you'll have a more scattered pattern.......but you can stil kill a bird with it

Illegal here!!Go to 4's or 6's depending on your overall pattern inside 40 yards!!!!

Illegal here too. I like #5 in 3 1/2" mags for turkeys.

I am gonna guess you have a Mossberg 500, a older one that chanbers 3"ers, and has a mod. choke. Go with #6. Better yet ask if you can use your gramps 870.
