What do you shoot?
I'm a fan of Hevi Shot myself. Primarily #7 Hevi Shot but have some shells and set ups for 4,5,6 and 5,6,7 loads...
Enjoying Each Sunrise...

Heavy shot preferred, I like Copper plated lead second.

Hevi mostly, but I whack one with Lead every now and again as well.

Tungsten for me also. For my kids 20 gauges, I let the little ones shoot lead and the big one shoots a 3" tungsten.

Hevi 13 3.5" Magnum Blend, bites at both ends...
I might switch to the Hevi 13 #7, used to use #6 Hevi 13 before going to the Mag blend. Prior to Hevi 13 used #5 lead.

Remington Nitro Turkey 12 gauge 3" lead #5's. This load and a TruGlo GobbleStopper choke in my Mossberg 500 consistently puts 12 to 13 in the kill zone at 30 yards. Additional bonus is they are still $10 a box at Bass Pro.

Unleaded for me. I still have some Hevi-Shot "Old White" 3", 1.75oz, #6. I'm running those through a Rhino .660" in my Benelli Vinci. That was a great load. IME, the current 2oz #6 load won't match it. I'm also running some of the Hevi-13 2oz, #7 through a Jeb's .670". The more open choke is throwing an even, wide pattern with nice 10" core density to 50yds. Then, I also tinker a bit with tungsten. I've been loading 2oz #8x9. However, I may move to straight #9s and a more open choke like a .675" and .680".

First shot is unleaded, second and third shot is leaded! Those H13's are to high to use as back up rounds!!!
Just an average hunter and fisherman trying to have fun.
