Default RE: what size load....

get close enough and any will do.....when i used the 20ga single shot i shot 3inch mag copper plated #6s...man that thing knocked em down!!! then i went with a 12ga....and used light 1o-1 1/8thoz of #6s and it just wasnt cutting it.....to many took more then one good hit.......and i was having the same problem with other small game....(i admit i do like to take a little farther shot then most guys) so i went with stiff loads of 1 5/8th oz of shot......loud..kicks alot harder......but they do the job......i cant find a good inbetween load.....i hit a ringneck 2 seasons ago and blew it in half......when i carry the big loads the games always close....if i have the light loads i cant get a good shot at anything...............
