I was looking at heading for Nebraska and see nothing smaller then size 7 can be used. I am therefore assuming 9 tT can't be used in those states as well as others (not in Virginia my home state either). Are some of these loads being put together put together for other reason's besides hunting. Just curious. FWIW, I shot blends in Maine two years ago and was told straight 7's were illegal, but blends were ok. Lots of rules out there.
