+1 on Zippy's response....

he's right about it usually being a distance factor...for a target beyond 45 yds I will always reach for a box of 7 1/2's.

but sometimes its a matter of presentation too .../ especially if all you get is an edge on view of target ..( vs dropping in where you can see the belly ...or sometimes the top of a target ) ....and if all you get is an edge on view...you'll need a little more pellet energy to break it (bigger pellets).

Then there are some targets ...like Rabbit targets...that are a little tougher made - so they don't break as they're thrown...and regardless of the range, I will often shoot a shell with 7 1/2's on a bouncing bunny target...( darn things aggravate me...they don't bounce when I expect them too ../run behind brush ...) just like the live ones...).
