I have been shooting 28ga for about five years now because of the gun weight. With quail I shoot 3/4 oz of 7-1/2s and an ounce of fives for pheasant. I have never felt undergunned. I had an extra 410 barrel set for my 28ga but those barrels weighed an ounce more than the 28s, the ammo is more expensive, and doesn’t perform as well as 28ga. So I sold the 410 barrels and bought a Bennelli Ethos 28 ga as a bad weather/ high volume gun. Over my good dog that’s all I need.
