I doubt it. Most grouse shots are rather close inside 25 yards and thats a long shot where I hunt. Sometimes even 28 inch barrels are to long and I gave up on some nice 30 inch guns a while ago. A choke combination I have begun to appreciate is IC/F in either 26 or 28 inch guns. Foolishly I let a nice DH O frame 16 go that was so choked with 26 inch tubes. That still bothers me
