How far away will you be? I would recommend #14 ("dust") as a starting
point. Good luck finding it unless you reload your own shells.... but
if you're more than about 10 or 20 yards away (I could ask, but im not
sure) you won't do much good. #9 might work, but it will probably punch
holes in your antenna...
Just remember... a 12 Gauge Shotgun has the same bore diameter (BUT NOT
THE SAME MUZZLE VELOCITY) of a 20mm anti-aircraft cannon <g>

If you use a small enough shot, you can also polish the elements at the
same time. Be sure to fire in the direction of True North.
