Depends on the performance of the cartridge in question... Some cartridges have slow burning propellants , others have faster burning and therefore pack more punch. An example: Eley Olympic Trap cartridges in 7.5 are not worth a ****e for crows , Yet Eley First in 7.5 pack more punch and therefore are ideal for crows, even though both are firing 28gram loads , The Olympic Trap cartridge burns slower. so really it just depends on the quality of the cartridge

7.5 28g is great for clays but when it comes to larger birds its 32 g 6's for me or tighten the choke with the 7.5's.
