I use magnum blend and I'm a Bama hunter. I've never even wanted to use 4s or 5s in the past, always was partial to 6's. I know the larger pellets pack more of a punch and bet a 2 or 3 would pop that head good, but I've always liked the idea of more shot per oz for denser patterns. I like to cover that dude up! Lol!!
That makes sense.
As it turns out, one of my guns likes #5 better. I haven't patterned the other yet, but will probably do so this weekend. As far as #2 and #3, I don't recall seeing any on the shelf -- in fact, it jumped from #4 to 00 buck, but that could just be my local store.
I would think the larger sizes would be better for slightly longer ranges. Or am I misunderstanding?
