While I mostly use factory loads for my hunting, occasionally I use reloads..mostly for ammo the factory does not provide..One of my favorites for small birds like huns, chukar, and feral pigeons is a load of 3 1/4-1 1/4-7's..I suppose 6's or 7 1/2's would work as well, but the preformance of this load has been really outstanding on game..Anyone else still reload most or some of their hunting loads????

33g of blue dot in a AA hull with an RP wad, +1 1/4 oz of hard 7 1/2's is the equal of your load. Change the powder charge to 37.5g on the 1 1/4 oz and you are at 1350 fps and will kill at 50 yds in most full chokes.
Purchase a Mec Sizemaster and you are ready to go.
