Guilty.
You posted a 20 gauge pattern that looked great. But it just seemed unthinkable to shoot 9 shot at a turkey. My immediate thought was "I wouldn't even shoot 9s at doves." And I think I made a comment to that effect. Then I did my research as you suggested. That same year (2013) I scrounged and begged and borrowed enough components and equipment to make eight 12 gauge loads with 8 shot (I still wasn't quite comfortable with the idea of 9s). I became a true believer pretty quick.
I'm not sure exactly how much money you've cost me since then, but I've got 28 lbs of 9 shot on a freight shipment from China right now. If she knew the origin of my hand loading hobby, my wife would hate you.
