What's your favorite birdshot load for routine 3G clays & falling steel?

I use the Win AA super sport 1 oz 7.5 shot going about 1300 fps, but my gun just seems to like those better than the slower non super sports.
On a side note if your gun has a 3" chamber. A 3" shell with two oz of 6 shot makes short work of spinners. A solid hit will do it in one shot with a full choke, though I suppose that depends on how your particular gun patterns. |

Quoted:
The Remington STS have run very well for me also in my previous shotgun, although I can't say I've tested them in my current shotgun. I ran 3 boxes of "low recoil" STS 7.5, 1oz through my Beretta 1301 and about 1 out of 5 would not fully cycle the action. All the regular velocity STS run great. |

Stopped in again today.......had to settle for #8.

I've run 1,000s of Federal Top Gun and Wally bulk pack #71/2 and #8. Just recently ran into some Wally #8's that were out of round and did not chamber in my JM Pro. 4-5 shells per box
After a quick email to Federal they sent me another bulk pack box. Good on them. If I must be 100% sure (classifier, big match) I am using Winchester AA 1200-1300 FPS #71/2 - #9s. |
