I've now been doing this for a little while and slowly getting my kit altogether. And I'm just wondering what size pots do most people use and why. I was sold on 140 shot pots but now I'm doubting my self. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

140ish. Nearly all hopper are 200+, so this is a convenient size to refill when there are 20-30 shots left in the hopper, plus most packs are designed to take this size pot.

I never thought about that. I'm used to useing 100 shot pots from my local field. But as i say I'm getting my own stuff now so i can go further afield and not have to borrow bits and pieces :)

Always used 140 pots.
Did use the Dye lock lids, i think there 160 shot pots i believe, used them when i was running the larger top on my rotor, they worked quite well, lids don't let go at the hinge neither which is a plus.

Sites use 100 shot pots for the simple reason that 100 divides into 2000 nice and even so is easy to dish out to punters.
