Who is hunting with 16 gauge???

[Stan Hillis]

I regularly hunt with .410, 28, 20, 16 and 12 gauges. But, a great deal of my hunting is dove shooting and I love a 16 for that in the late season....... always with 1 oz. of shot. We shoot crows too, when the pecans are ripe, and I have used heavier 1 1/8 oz. loads in my 16s for them with great success.

I hunt with a lot of different gauges but my main go to for birds is the 16g Parker or Lefever, all depends on what strikes my fancy on any given day.

Stan, we went crow hunting last Friday and took 27 of them. Sent quite a few away missing some feathers. Used the Browning BSS with Fiocchi Super Crushers 1 oz 7 1/2 at 1350 FPS. A bit snotty for the "vintage guns".

I like all standard gauges and own all except an 8 . But I truely enjoy 10 gauge 2 7/8” , 16’s and 28’s ( only have a pair of 28’s but I enjoy them
Just the same) . To “ME” atleast there’s something a little to plain vanilla about 12’s and 20’s as well as a lesser degree the 410 . Don’t get me wrong I like the last three I just like the other three A LOT more .
