I have the 8 3/8", with Burris FastFire3 ( struggling with irons - old age). Running 300 grain cast at around 1100 fps for plinking, and 400 grain wide metplat for "work"! Put together a pretty good shot shell load which uses a full 1/2 oz. of #8, that keeps a decent pattern out to around 25 feet. memtb
