I remember the lead days. And I bet with hitting that bird with a 1-1/2oz of 7-1/2's it was full of shot when you cleaned it!!!!! I as well used 7-1/2's, trap loads, for swatter loads on the water or field. And if I was a bit low, that bird, and I later, paid the price!!!! Too much shot to pick out. I shot 5's for ducks and 2's n BB's for geese. Ithaca Big Mag 10 10ga solely for geese. 12ga on ducks, Model 12 and Rem 870 Mag.
