Surprised no one has asked this Badger State gent what breed and style dog he hunts grouse with- About 5 years ago, when I thought we'd have a legal dove season in MI- I bought a Utica mfg. Sterlingworth 20 gauge- 28" choked Imp. cyl. and mod., DT and ejectors- fine gun--that would still be my choice if I were grouse hunting at age 72--but as they say- "it ain't the gun that kills the grouse, it's the legs- yours and the dog's too"--

I recommend RST to anyone, Morris is an avid grouse hunter- likes Parker 20's- My guess- he might suggest trying spreader loads for the first season or two, before you have the chokes altered. If you do decide to do that, Mark Beasland is the right guy for that job--
