I used to shoot soft shot, for a trap load, but I wouldn't think of using them any moro ovoh for light gamo. Why, I've gono out for an all-day hunt a uumbor of timos whon tho woathor was protty warm, killed from twonty-flvo to a hundred partridges, and thou bo all put out when I got homo by duding by birds spoiled.
