#8 lead shot is intended for target shooting of all kinds; it’s perfect for paper, trap, or skeet shooting. Unfortunately, it’s much better at taking clay pigeons than real ones. #8 shot can take small birds inside of 30 yards, but beyond that the shot is too dispersed to be effective. You can forget about bigger birds like turkey entirely; it just doesn’t have the power needed to penetrate them. It gets the job done for varmints you don’t want to eat, but if you’re thinking about making some squirrel stew you’ll want to step up to something like #7.5 lead shot.
