Who is hunting with 16 gauge???
Seems like I'm hearing, reading about more hunters shooting 16 gauge SXS guns for upland gunning in the now times. Several of the guys I rub shoulders with hunt 16-s for upland. Top choices are Fox, O-frame, one frame Parkers, Ithica and several other makers too. Six to six and one half lbs seems the norm. I shoot 16-s for all my upland gunning. Two Parkers and a Fox will be going to Kansas on the 29th for a week of wild roosters and quail. Shot sizes that I will use are number 4,5 and 6 all field loads and some HV shells too. The number six loads will be for quail. Quail numbers are way up this year so we may be hunting them intensely. The rooster for-cast was not as good as they had lots of rain for the whole nesting season...)-:
