The guys in my club were always giving me the business because I killed twice the birds they did, shooting either my Red Label 28 or my Rizzini 28. So I bought a CZ 410 and still killed more birds. Maybe the tens of thousands of clay birds that I've shot over the years helped? I've shot the Red Label on the bunker and have broken mid teens with it. The 410 I think I broke an 8- not bad for IC/Mod chokes.
I have shot heads off pheasants with my Parker 20ga, quite a few mostly headless pheasant with the 410 but only one with my 28s.
The small boxes are by far my favorites and they do require more time behind the gun to get really proficient.
Don't be scared of the small gauges, embrace them!
Now if I could afford to buy a Parker in 410 & 28 I'd be a really happy camper!
