Favorite guns --- yes. Favorite gauge --- no. For reduced complexity, I shoot 12 gauge in loads of 3/4 oz to one step short of crew served as the occasion warrants. This is one way to do it, but no judgment on my part as to good, better, or best. Occasionally, I shoot a bit of .410 clays.

Favored gun is a Woodward top lever bar action hammer gun. Favored .410 is a Browning Superposed.
