Crow Ammo?

[MK-M-GOBL]

While looking online for crow ammo, I’ve found some huge price differences. This price comparison info is all through the same place, Able Ammo. I know what I should do! I should stick with what 6 shot I like or is the 7.5/8 shot better to go with because of sending out more shot?

The Remington load is what I’m currently using and like. However at $15.99 a box, my wife is upset about this newly found passion for thump’n crows and for the record, I’m blaming TC! Which my wife is not happy with now ;D Maxus however, she’s loving you for pointing out to me these Rio’s loads…which btw are blue

So what shot should I go with? Stick with the 6 shot or is 7.5 or 8 shot a better route? My plan is that come fall or next spring, I'll have enough ammo to last one or two hunts by getting this stuff by the case.

My personal Favorite loads used to be low brass #8. High pellet count, and deadly out to 40. Plus I usually run a cylinder choke so I don't reach out more than 30 anyway. This season though, I haven't had as many birds up close as I did last fall or spring. What made me start looking for new ammo was my maxus started getting picky with the lower power loads (even after several throrough cleanings) so I asked the guy at the gun shop what he used for crows. He handed me the box of Rio's and I am pretty excited about these.
It didn't occur to me that the HV Rio's came in #8 or #7.5
I personally am thinking about pickin up a case of the #7.5's. Higher pellet count than #6 and a little more knockdown than the #8. Plus at $7.43 a box you can't go wrong. Besides they are blue, the color of Winner's. Who doesn't want to be a winner? ;D It really boils down to picking the shot size YOU feel the most confident with.

I always use 7 1/2 and if they are flying higher I tighten the choke up...I put my turkey choke in last year and was hammering birds so I left it in all season. I just buy the bulk packs at wally world. I have also used steel and larger shot sizes, great way to get rid of unwanted ammo ")
