Well the only grouse I have shot seriously is ruffed. I always use a Skeet choke in the brush they like to live in. but for serious grouse huntin I use a handload of 3 1/4 dram 1 1/4 ounce because of the heavier cover. Not much gets to the bird. Some use 6's but I used 7 1/2s most of the time. I did use 6's on Ptarmigan up in Alaska. Fun to shoot if it wasn't too cold. I guess they are a type of grouse. We have blues and a few ruffed here but only blues I have shot was with a 22 pistol. They just sit and kinda look at ya most of the time..like the moose if ya don't have a license.LOL
