<< I wouldn't say 40yds was long-shooting (or, skyscraping, to use the more popular term). Especially back in the day when you could use lead. Lead has much greater dropping power than steel. >> With the 10 ga. magnum and lead BBs it wasn't good to let them get too close. I popped one at 20 yards and the shot went in the breast and came out the back. <<But with #8shot on a quail, 40yds is getting to the outer limits of effective kill range. :-)>> I've use #8 skeet shooting during warm weather but dropped back to 7 1/2 during cooler weather. #8 wouldn't break the harder targets when it was colder.
