Shot usually come in Chilled ( soft ) or hard (Magnum) for shooters.
Chilled shot is for short range target or upland small bird, type shooting, where the lower priced pellets will work and do the job.
Hard, Magnum pellets are for high velocity loads where "Setback" will not deform the pellets as much and make for a better pattern at longer distances.
Most use pellets from 7 1/2's and larger for field use at longer distances.
At my range, a 7.5 at 1200fps will break a clay bird that is dropping and about to hit the ground at 78 yards, using a full choke.
You can melt that chilled shot down but you might think of selling it to those that shoot trap or game and pick up some fast change.
A Bucket? Most claimed pellets come bagged.......
Good luck.
