The winchester  1oz #6 works great.Can't remember the exact count but it  was plenty for 35 yard shots.

The Classic DBL 28's aren't worth the money!  My is MOD and I use AA 7 1/2 and out to  35 yards it will do the job. 

The Classic DBL's seem to swell and I have to have a push rod to get them out of the chamber very often.

I shoot slugs mostly in mine -  they will take down a deer or a small bear!
