[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5835147, member: 2805"] Yes and no... im still SICK about all those birds I shot at 30y with my 3in #5s from my 11-87 that didn't flop... and it was probably 1 out of 4. Probably 3/4 of those that didn't flop went on to die somewhere else I suspect. That was THE reason I switched to the 3.5in 10g win xx #5s... problem solved. Everything flopped. Carried that gun for 20 plus years... no need to change until the federal heavyweights came out... just no reason not to use #7s and improve pattern density even more. But as I got older and had to hike more miles to get on a bird due to declining populations, I switched to the 20g with TSS. Went from a 12lb tricked out shotgun down to a 6lb tricked out shotgun. And got the SAME patterns from #9TSS in the 20g as I was getting from the #7s 15g/cc in the 10g. No brainer for me and haven't pulled my 10g out of the safe in the last 7 or 8 years. [/QUOTE]
