Per post #3;
#4 steel is used for ducks and #6 steel is used for snipe and
dove . #8 steel might be used for skeet shooting due to its low energy but the larger #7 steel is what Winchester loads.
8 steel has less energy than #9 lead shot and most use minimum of 7 1/2's for SD in a pinch.
You might shoot 3 water jugs at ten feet and see if you can get pellets into the third jug which is close to penetrating skin, muscle and body fluids that might work in a SD load if
no bones are struck.
