I will be taking my SxS 10 Ga. Pedersoli afield again this weekend. I'm thinking about mixing some #6 and #7.5 in equal weights to give me a 1 3/4 oz. load for Saturday's pheasant hunting trip. Does anyone here have any experience with doing that sort of thing, and if so, what were the results as compared to just staying with a 1 3/4 oz. load of #7.5?
I'm figuring that I might get an additional 5 yards or so of range with my cylinder bore due to the additional down-range energy transferred to the birds :idunno: ? With the straight #7.5 load I've taken 'em cleanly out to 25+ yards while working with a good dog.
And since I'm working all the rest of the week, I won't have the time to test the new load, so save your typing for that one :wink: .
Thanks to all in advance for any help or thoughts you have.
