Goose, maybe you could rig the 28g so that both barrels go off at the same time? You’d be down to a single shot but it might be more effective!

I'm going to fire my other barrel,even if the first is a solid hit.

What load are you using?

5s

I took the 12 out and shot the cycle.1187 is my best shooting gun with ic.my sweet 16 is full.I love it, but not used to shooting full.Sometimes I get on a streak with it.It has good range,and good power. I also use an Ithaca 20 sxs.1970.I shoot it well.The 28 has not come out yet this year.

That's what I shot when they were affordable! But my humble opinion is with a 28 or 2 3/4 20 does not have enough shot for WILD pheasant unless you only take birds that flush at your feet. Years ago, I bought a 1100 special field 20. Practiced all summer and shot it well. Took it to Iowa and made a fool of myself. Knocked a lot down didn't bring very many home. I used my ugy 28 mod and full for years for wild quail and grouse. Shot many, many cases of above shells through it. It served me well, but I can say with confidence that it was barely big enough for them. The 16 is a wonderful gun, it will clobber a Phez within it's range with the heaviest loads but will not drop them with the authority as a 12. Wild phez are a 12-gauge bird!

Yeah I don't loose too many 12 ga.birds.I can make the difficult shot shooting 4s. 16 ga. I shoot federal 4s.

You can make a close in shot with a 28,as long as there is no wind.In wind, leave it at home!!

Save the 28 gauge for dove hunts.

Maybe the one exception is when you put on a sport coat and nice polo shirt in order to sneak your dog into a hotel. In that case, toting a 28 gauge up to your room fits the part a little better. And no pbr, it better be Stella artois, or better yet a high brow bottle of wine from the south of France.

Haha a nice merlot from a reputable vineyard
