Let me help you with that. I see LEAD shot loads in sizes from 5s to 8s as most useful for upland gunning. Leave the STEEL loads at home, unless you are forced to use them, most of the time the people doing the forcing won't be hunters, won't care what happens to your gun, and won't care if your hunt was successful.


Any further questions?

Naturally one uses lead whenever possible, I was just thinking longterm. One doesn't blow a grand on a shotgun to hunt with for year or two. It is long-term commitment.
