I have no issue except everyone tells me to use steel shot but I cannot buy any for love nor money locally, nor do I expect this to change any time soon.

I use an 3/4oz of 7's (trap loads) for quail (and pheasants) in both my guns

with a pointy dog shots at game are usually not that far. i would imagine same size will work in a 12ga if you can get them
