Anyone who hunts with a 28 will tell you the guage is a stone cold killer and I don't ever recall having crippled a bird. They are dead or gone. BTW: it's the same on a skeet field.

Jay,
I've never even moved 100 grouse in a season.
You need to invite me up next year.
I'll shoot the 28 gauge.
It will do my new, young Setter some good to see some Grouse.
