With all due respect to you and Capt. Askins Harry he wrote in "Modern shotguns and loads", published in 1929 and I quote;
p86: "For personal reasons only I do not like a 12 bore except for waterfowl shooting. The normal gun weighs more than I like to carry, and it has unnecessary power for such birds as snipe, quail, woodcock and grouse. Any time the shooter begins to reason that he needs a lighter gun than seven pounds, take my word for it that he needs a smaller bore than a twelve."
I couldn't agree more.
