Did I see that right, Clayton, #8 shot?

I found that when shooting ducks over my decoys that trap loads using 1 1/8 oz. of 7 1/upshot worked very well. The heads and necks riddled with shot and none made it through the breast feathers, :ie, no shot in the bodies.
I used heavy loads of 1 1/4oz of 8 1/2 reclaimed shot for"ground sloosing" crips on the water. Again, no pellets in their bodies.
