#5 , #6 ,#7.5 ,#000
 
I have #5, #7.5, #9 and 000 buck. I have a shot pouch that I mixed equal amounts of #5 and #7.5 shot for use in my Trade Musket.
 
I have used #9 for clays but found that I was hitting alot of birds that wernt breaking. Especially on rabbits They are tuff especialy if you are shooting from an angle instead of at 90 degrees.

I use mostly 6's and 5's. Squirrels are tough, and I lie 5's for them. I also have on hand quite a bit of buckshot in .31 caliber. I have one of the italian brass pistol moulds, and when I cast ball, I usually run quite a few of the little ball just to have on hand if buckshot is needed for anything.

#6, 71/2, and 8 shot for me. Will be getting some #5 shot to try and pattern this spring.
 
T, BB, 2, 4, 5, 6, 71/2, 8, 9, #4 Buck, 000 Buck, and drip shot (sometimes refered to as swan shot), and a few pounds of 1/4 inch cylinders and 1/4 inch cubes all in lead.
BB, 2 in steel.
BB and 4 in bismuth.
And finally about 4 pounds of pewter shot in 5.

I like shot, it works for most everything.
