O.K., IM going to be the one to make ammends for the rest of these nuts.. So, about once a month or so we get a question like yours. 7 1/2 or 8's? Really good shooters have proven one is no better than the other. At least from 27 yards. At 16 yards you could probably load your gun with dried corn and break them as often as most. Ya, I'm kidd'n. But, I'm not as far off as you'd think. Here's your answer, Can you buy one size cheaper than the other? If not, Buy the 7 1/2!!!! Hit the Dirt! Here comes the 'size 8' barrage!

If I was limited to only one shot size, it would be 7-1/2.

But I'm not, so I often use 8-1/2's for singles and doubles.

24 grams of 7-1/2 also works fine for singles.

At 16 yards I can't tell a difference in my score but IMO the quality of the breaks are better with 7.5's then 8's. For handicap I was always suggested to use 7.5's

So why not keep it simple? I say use the same ammo for everything.....but I don't shoot high yardage that I may need a faster load so I can't comment on that
