I've had the best luck with heavy shot 2's for snows and honkers. More shot vs bb's and a better pattern, still breaks wings at up to 80 yards.
BB is good...it is considered by many to be the all around shot type for general use....Here is the average pellet count in one ounce of steel shot of various selected sizes, courtesy of the Winchester Ammunition 2004 Product Guide:BBB - 62, BB - 72, 1 - 103, 2 - 125, 3 - 158, 4 - 192, 5 - 243, 6 - 315. this may help... http://www.chuckhawks.com/shot_info.htm
