What single shot size would you use?

If you had to use the same shot size for trap, skeet & sporting clays, what would it be?

 

[Win/64]

1 oz #8's. 18 grains of 700X Claybuster Fig. 8 Wad = Dust.

3/4oz of 8's with an AAHS28 wad ( or OEM Clayduster), longshot powder and 28HS hull does it for me.

Thanks fellas. Your load recipes are an added bonus!

#8s hands down..

 

[Millwright1987]

#7 1/2's 1 oz. 2 3/4 Dram for anything from 16yrd line... any handicap i shoot 7 1/2s 1 1/8oz 3 Dram heavys, year round for both, #8 doesnt seem to break them as nice in the winter i find, but i also only really shoot Trap, a bit of sporting clays but i make due with what i normally run

I would also use 1 Oz 7 1/2 . 1145 fps.

 

[NZClaybuster]

7/8's of an ounce of 8's good for 70 yrd teals, no smoke, but lots of pieces (okay only a couple of times, but that was a shot that felt great to make) 7/8's of an ounce of 8'swill break 50 yrd crossers with a modified choke.

I wouldn't want to be restricted to one shot size. But I'm leaning more and more to 7 1/2 in 1 and 1 1/8 oz loads, especially for trap. I've wondered about winter breaks this year like Millwright1987 mentioned too.

 

[M12shooter]

7 1/2 for everything... Ducks (back when it was legal), upland birds, crows...you name it. One ounce at 1235 fps for trap and clays.

 

[dedbird]

1 1/8 hard 7.5's @ 1145 fps.

It has been proven many times that more of bigger shot travelling slower produces the best patterns at any distance. Easier on the gun and shooter as well.

 

[hogiron]

1 oz #8's all day long. If unavailable, 1 1/8oz, 2 3/4 dram #8's.

 

[Covey Ridge]

I am glad I do not have to choose just one but that one would be 7 1/2.

 

[taffman]

Just in case I wait a bit too long and let the bird get a little ways out before I shoot, 7.5 will help make up for operator error.

7/8oz of #8's do the job for me - 20ga!

1300fps AA's are wicked and the 1200fps standard loads are good too!
