7.5s or 8s?

[RayPDA]

Random question....


For you trap/sporting/skeet shooters....do you prefer 7 1/2s or 8s?

I sometimes think I miss more with 7.5s because I have less pellets, but then sometimes I think I don't break targets when I shoot 8s.

I usually shoot 7.5' s, but for me it is more about the company. I only buy the bulk packs from wallywork, so it is wither winchester or federal.

For me I like the Federal much better.

They say 7.5 for longer distance trap, 8 for shoter distance trap, 9 for skeet.

I reload, 8's and 9's

[Capybara]

If you are shooting at 16 yards and not waiting all day to shoot, I am fully convinced that 8s are a superior load. More pellets in the shot column = more breaks.

I found I like 8 but either works.

[XVIga_Rob]

I'm liking the 8's

[DOGHOUSE26]

7 1/2s for trap, unless you got lots o money and can find copper plated 8s; 8s or 9s for skeet

[RugerNo1]

I shoot reclaimed shot that is mostly 7.5 and 8.

I like 7.5 for sporting clays, 8's are a little light.

7.5 for trap and sporting clays. 9 for skeet, even though now I'm shooting 8.5 for skeet because that's what's available. But i've also shot 7.5 for skeet. It doesn't matter, they all crush the birds.
