In the shotgun, even with only 8 rds, I use a mix. I actually keep an L-T-L rubber ball, (from ALS), in the pipe as a "persuader" for larger animals that come into the yard. After that 3 rds of #6. After THAT, it's Centurion buck-&-ball. If necessary, I can de-load the three bird-shot in a bit of a hurry to get to the B-&-B for anything in the yard. Mind you, that's after MANY HOURS of "train, train, and when you think you've GOT IT, train some more".
Good for the A-hole that says "You ain't gonna shoot AAARGH, That f*^king hurt "
