I am in love...
With 16g 0 frames. 16g VH 26" barrels choked M/F. 7 grouse and 7 mudbats flushed. Fired at 3 grouse 3 woodcock, one grouse two woodcock in hand. But like a bamboo fly rod, it's about what you carry. Today was about the dog work. Raisin was epic from 9 to 11am and nailed 6 woodcock tight and 5 grouse, holding them as long as could be expected. 3 hours of bliss and others don't understand that when you had a morning like this, should God strike you dead, there could be worse ways to go. The 16's in that size just carry like a fawn in your palm and it's a gift. I can't get enough of them. The only thing limiting me is my wallet!!! A DHE in shooting modern dimensions, or PHE, near 6lbs is my Nirvana.
