A number of years ago I checked Remington against West Coast (now owned by Lawrence) and the West Coast was hands down the most uniform in size and roundness. Cabala's stocks West Coast in all sizes except #7. Living in Kansas when you never know if a pheasant, covey of quail or prairie chicken is going to come up in front of your dogs nose I prefer #7s for my first shot on upland game. Its not too large for quail, not optimal but adequate for pointed pheasant and just right for prairie grouse.
