I enjoy a good 28ga gun. I do have a couple of them still. Don't get me wrong.
But when I sat there listening to this pretentious fine gun store clerk tell me he "only" shoots 16ga and 28ga for Upland I just couldn't take it anymore...
I feel like he just wants to be different.
I know 28ga as a 3/4oz square load can do it's business well on a bird or a clay.
But besides the uniqueness of that "cute" little very expensive shell, the light guns, what's the big deal?
I have some 20ga guns that are just as light and trim. Under 6lbs.
I find shells for next to nothing ($40 bucks a case at Walmart) and they can be as light or heavy as I want.
A 7/8oz load does a great job. 1oz of lead or copperplated knocks birds down with authority.
Why do bird hunters choose a 28ga shell over a 20ga?
Roger.
PS: 16ga does kick-ss.
