If you could only have two sizes of lead shot for everything......what would they be?
I'm tossing around the idea of #1 Buck, and perhaps BB, or T.......but I know next to nothing about evaluating shotgun performance, compared to avid shotgun enthusiasts. So what say you?

#5s for birds (pheasant and turkeys). #8s for targets!

Is this just for bird hunting or everything. I use shotguns for coyote hunting a lot and BB's are my shot of choice 5's for upland birds and 8's for target. I could live with BB's and 7 or 7 1/2 for everything else(shot them for pheasants at dog trials). Just birds and targets 5's and 8's.

5's for pheasants and turkeys, 7 1/2's for quail/dove/clays. Thats all I shoot a shotgun at using lead shot.
