[QUOTE="StrutNut, post: 1120565, member: 88257"] I have always had great luck with 12 ga #5 and 28 gauge in #6. I used to use larger rounds but that just pulls more feathers into the meat. I found the smaller pellets hit them hard and dont penetrate the back into the meat as much so I dont wreck as much meat. #5 seem to be the best of both worlds as if you go too much smaller you can also have a mess on your hands with broadside shots. I was just trying to find a compromise between too many pellets and hitting too hard and #5 and #6 seem to win with Lead. Steel shot, #2's. [/QUOTE]
