350 t0 390 *'s is really impressive especially in a 2.5oz load! Been told that the slightly larger shot, above 9's, holds a tighter pattern at longer ranges? Curious if you noticed, or tried the 8's at anything over 40 yards and how well did it maintain numbers in the 10" past 40 ? I know what we are ding is overkill but if we are going to pack a 10 there needs to be some kinda justification as I also use 410, 20, and 12's which in general are lighter guns and easier to pack. We are considering trying the larger shot and maybe even duplexing some loads and giving them a try.
