A heavy field load in #7 lead. Or if they make it a Hevi 13 in whatever size you can get.

If you can, get the Federal FC in #6 yes, Win Supreme  23/4-1 1 /8 #6
Even number 4 or 5 shot may pattern for short distances.

That Win load is bad to 30 yards and plenty for killing about 90% of birds that I have killed and yes, with a full choke.Just get em in range and fire.*

*-This is the hardest part of all.

If the barrel is rated for hard shot the 2 3/4 Fed 7 HWs.. MKW a former member had an awesome pattern through a fixed choke SXS and these shells..

Does this particular gun have a fixed full choke or choke tubes? If a fixed full choke look at Federal® and Winchester® Pb.

I would go with whatever you can get in hevi shot. IMO you can never go wrong with hevi13.  :icon_thumright:
