Heavy or Light?

Was wondering what all you lads are using for Ducks & corvids?
Anything below 30g i would rate Light
Anything above 30g i would rate heavy
I myself use Express 28g 5s for duck
As for corvids Express 28g 7.5 does the trick
Would be nice if there was a few replies lads!

Was using 28g 7.5s for most things but changed to 32g 6s and
find they have a better one shot kill ratio

I find if i put the decoys at 25 to 30 yds out 28g 7halfs are gd
job. & felt wads keeps the place tidy.
