Skeet loads?

I just bought a Remington 870 Wingmaster in 20 ga (2 3/4"). I plan to use it to shoot skeet with a friend. Nothing serious mind you, just for fun. What are good loads for this purpose?

    A light dove load. A day of skeet usually consists of about 100 shots, or at least most of the matches I've been to, and thats what I always shoot for practice. So I like a light load on my shoulder. Usually a #8 shot. Really just whatevers the cheapest. Sometimes I use #9 sometimes #7shot, I'm not a pro by any means nor do I plan to be, so I don't really notice any difference between those.

    I just wish I had a dollar for every gun I wanted, then I'd be a rich man.

    You'll probably break more targets going to #9 shot...reason: there are more pellets per volume than with #7's. I know a few shooters that like #12 shot.
