Just got back from 4-days of grouse and woodcock hunting in northern Michigan and moved over 100 grouse. Took a 28 Repro and it was extremely effective on both grouse and woodcock. Shot it with 26" barrels choked Q1 and Q2 shooting B&P 3/4 oz of 7-1/2 shot. Killed my share of birds - all dead when they hit the ground. 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.
