I am sure there will be plenty of argument to this statement and I love variety as well in gauges of shotguns and enjoy shooting them all. However, read this statement the other day and it made perfect sense. "If we were starting from scratch to design the shotgun and its cartridges, it would be the 16 gauge with a 1 ounce load." Add to that I think a Parker 16 gauge on a 1 Frame is the ultimate in firearm congress.
I have not used the Herters brand shells yet but read they were made by Sellier and Bellot out of Czech Republic, but even S&B is a subsidiary of a Brazil company CBC. Its a world economy. I guess Bass Pro/Cabelas owns the Herters name and slapped that brand on them. Good idea since people still remember the brand. I remember as kid getting the Herters catalog and reading the stories. Still have a few Herter's Duck calls. Also have my first weapon. A Herter's fiberglass recurve bow with a 15 lb draw and leather quiver.
Here is neat article.
