Does RST not load any shot sizes larger than 7.5 in their spreader loads? I would personally prefer a spreader load with 6's, but I haven't been able to find any on their site anytime I check. Anyone else?

I tried to find some on Polywad, but their website seems to be under construction or perhaps all business is only conducted over the phone?

Mike,

I would like to use some of my vintage 12s (tight chokes) for grouse in early season leafy cover. I prefer a heavier shot size for penetration in leaves. Surely, I'm not alone in that.

You're not alone at all as I sometimes resort to #5's in the left barrel, with #7's in the right one.

Note that when you said "Smaller than 7˝ size" Most All of us would think Smaller shot, not a smaller number. With shot just as in the gauge of the shotgun a smaller number = a larger size. Thus we do not think of a 12 gauge as being smaller than a 20 gauge, Nor a size 6 shot being smaller than a size 7˝.

You're right Miller. That was my mistake. I meant larger shot - lower size number. I can see the confusion. I was "multitasking" at the time I wrote that.

So back to my question, is larger shot not an option?

The RST spreaders really spread. You might find #6 shot a little sparse at the target...Geo

Thanks Geo. I guess that is definitely something to take into consideration, especially when dealing with one ounce or less of shot.

So the answer to the question is that RST does not and probably will not produce spreader loads in anything larger than 7.5?

If they do they don't advertise it...Geo

Mike,

I just noticed your link to the Polywad spread-rs. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, the chambers on most of these guns are 2.5", so I guess I'll just have to stick with the 7.5 shot. I wasn't sure if RST made special runs with heavier shot in the fall hunting season. I figured the gentlemen on this forum would shoot me straight. Thanks everyone...
