Shot my new to me 28ga Browning superlight O/U exclusively this year on our Kansas trip and I was more than impressed at it's performance. After the first wild rooster I shot and almost blew the right breast out (should have aimed 3 more inches forward
) I realized I was over-choked with light modified and improved modified. Switched to IC and light modified and of the 10 or so birds I shot only one was not DOA upon hitting the ground. Was using Fiocchi Golden Pheasant in #6 and #5 in 7/8oz loads. Worked wonders. The #6 even did a great job on the quail.
Heavy-shot??? Not necessary especially at about $3+ per shot!!
Only had 2 roosters get away due to poor shooting and one quail that dropped some feathers.
I am sold on the 28ga. :thumbsup:
