Hello, I am starting to get into reloading and was wondering from you all. What is the best way to go as far as shot goes 7 1/2 or 8 shot. Thanks, Tim

Who knows if a bag of, say, 7 1/2's is really that? I mean, maybe some of the shot could be bigger or smaller in varying percentages depending upon quality control? Maybe it really is a de facto bag of 7 3/4's.

Darn, since I don't have an Abel reel, like the beautiful one for sale on this site...

The Grand Handicap was won 2 years ago with a l l/8 oz. load of #8 shot, fired at 1145 fps. So if that works fine from the 27 yard line where this man shot from, #8 l/2 shot will work for all shooters from the 16 yard line and short handicap as well. Use #8 shot in the cold to a point, after that point I'm in the club house for the day so I don't need 7 l/2's. LOL. break em all Jeff
