Can someone give me the lowdown on shotgun shells? Was out trying to find mountain grouse again today and came across a squirrel. Figured, sure why not, I will eat a squirrel. Well, I cut the poor guy in half. Safe to say, I was very much in target
3inch number 6 is what I used. My gun will take 2 3/4 or 3 inch. I just picked up a box of 7 1/2, 2 3/4.
I guess my questions are 3 inch vs 2 3/4.... and how do you determine when to use 6,7, or 8? And are there, for example, varying types of size 6?
I'm shooting 12 gauge. Used a modified choke. It was a close shot, probably thirty feet. I'm all for trial and error but I really don't want to continue ripping animals in half.
