I have a lake I am going to hunt and the rules say “No. 2 shot maxim”. Guessing they miss spelled maximum. So 7 1/2 shot is legal since it is smaller the no 2 right.
Seems like 2 shot would be to big on teal

By maximum, they must mean BB weight, so number 2 or higher. lol.

I use #4 on everything, and drop canadas like rock with it as well.

Yes, it seems as though you are correct. Don’t know that I’d recommend 71/2 for teal though.

I use #4 on everything, and drop canadas like rock with it as well. I second this. The velocity is what's important. I destroyed a few teal with #4 shot this past weekend. I wouldn't recommended Using anything bigger unless you don't plan on eating the bird. Teal aren't much bigger then a dove.

#6 for teal. I've tried to use them on big ducks due to how they hammer teal and they just don't have enough Ke, I got more cripples and found more pellets in the meat.
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel

2 3/4 6’s for a teal shoot...I’ve never had to shoot teal past 25 yards. Other than that, I’m using 3” 1-1/4oz #4’s heavy metal for ducks and geese... high brass lead on cranes.
