We talk alot about our favorite shotguns, but seldom mention loads for the specific game we hunt....
I use 12 ga. pumps most of the time..for big birds, sage grouse, blue grouse, and ringnecks...my favorite load is 3 1/4-1 1/4-5's.
Ruffed Grouse,Quail and Dove the same load with 7's or 7 1/2' or 3-1 1/8-7 1/2's
with my 20 ga. usually 1oz-7 1/2 with the 28ga. 3/4oz 7 1/2's...I seldom shoot handloads any more exept for a few #7's..
