Load for prairie chicken and sharpies?

[Scott Chapman]

I just got a invite to go to Nebraska to chase the dogs and hopefully find a prairie chicken or sharptailed grouse the second week in September.

I have a few guns to choose from.

Grandpa's 16 gauge Trojan 26" choked open and modified. I have a bunch of RST 1 oz copper #6s.

VH 20 gauge 0 frame 28" choked modified and "close". Don't have anything other than 7/8 oz #7.5 dove loads in hand. I may have a box of RST #7.

I'm leaning towards taking them both. Should I try to order some RST copper #6 for the 20? I was thinking that the shots maybe longer...
