I will admit that I have shot and killed wild roosters at 40 yards with a 20 but that is not the norm, a 16 with field loads is a better performer for me. Its as good as it gets. A centered shot will work from most 28 gauge and up but any marginal off center and you need more bullets and fuller patterns. 16 has 1 1/8 oz of shot, fuller patterns and gets the job done better with less cripples and still light and light to carry. Six and 1/2 lbs is about all I want to tote and 6lbs is even is better....(-:
