I finally settled on using the #7 1/2's in the first barrel, and the #6's [when needed] for the second. These were preseve birds taht were flushing fairly close. I suspect that at 25 yards it makes no difference--hit them and they stay down!
Best New Year Wishes to all!

Well Hal, our Buckeyes got stomped and it's taken me 2 full days to climb up outta the hole of depression....
anyhow, I go with BP 5's all the time (both bbls.) and they are just fabulous for me, sometimes when I reload, (and after joining this crew, that appears to be increasing), I really like nickel or copper-plated sixes, too, but those BP 5's are terrific killers, and down they stay....
....even though it looks like you've made your choices, I though I'd drop a line... though these wild MT roosters might behave a little different than what you have goin there and that's why I need the extra uummpfff.....and like that feller on page 4 of this topic (near the bottom of page), I shoot a 16 bore choked True Cyl in the right and IC in the left.......
glad you asked the question, it was a great read and good discussion...
