My personal wild rooster guns is a light 16ga that comes in about 6lbs-4oz 28" choked .009/.031 or light mod/X-full I use 1 1/8 oz of 5# HV from Fiocchi, this load also works very well on wild Quail. I find that number 5 shot does not pepper the birds full of pellets and the ones that stay in the bird are easy to find and remove. We loose very few cripples I am happy to say. Her in Ohio at our quality preserves most any small gauge and choke combo will work fine as shots are close over pointing dogs. Its fun to use a light 28ga. For the king of game birds...the rough grouse any light gun with open chokes work great. SXS Ohio....(-:
