Both actually. I shoot an over/under with two different chokes; top barrel for way out there and bottom barrel for when he's right in my lap. HTL on top and copper-coated lead on the bottom.

I use both. When i bought my 10 ga. I started stockpiling shells. Started with hevi 5. Killed some birds but have moved to federal heavyweight #7. When i hunt certain places such as a few patches of woods on our farm i load up with lead because i will not have a shot over 20 yds.
But i dont see myself going straight lead for a ling time
My kids are going to shoot Pixie Dust (tss #9) out of their 20ga this year. Its supposed to out shoot any 12 ga shooting heavy shot.

Nice, look forward to hearing your opinion of it. Are you loading it or getting it from someone?
I'm loading it. And maybe a few .410 loads also.
