Dom,
The rule of thumb is that it takes three pellets to guarantee a broken clay. I have read articles where "studies" were done at ranges by going out and picking up the unbroken clays with pellet holes in them. They found plenty with one or two #8 to #9 size holes in them, but didn't find many whole targets with more than a single #7.5 hole in it. Hence, they think that two #7.5 will get the job done while it takes three of anything smaller.
Bufflehead are like the dove of the water. They are fast and manueverable.
