I cannot imagine being at the point that I would want to use one gauge gun for all my shotgunning pursuits. I enjoy them all, with the exception of 24 and 32, from 10 down to .410.
While I'm sure I could take my 16s and do everything needed with them, I wouldn't enjoy the lack of variety as much as I do using them all. I enjoy matching payloads to gauges . . . . 1 1/4 to 1 1/8 in 12, 1 oz. in 16, 7/8 in 20, and 3/4 in 28. I make two exceptions to that. My Fox Sterlingworth Ejector regulates with 1 oz. loads at 1145 fps, and I enjoy using both 1/2 oz. (for clays) and 3/4 oz. (for doves and quail) in my .410s. Horses for courses?
The piece Craig posted above is very well written, but also verbose. I think the writer enjoys being flowery and lengthy with his prose. Kinda reminds me of other subjects people write about on the 'net.
