Maybe not equal ........... but close? Two years ago I hunted a new to me 20 ga. Fox Sterlingworth Ejector, 28" barrels, on which I had gotten Dean Harris to open the chokes to .006" and .016", R and L. First point, I walked up and they exploded. I picked a bird and downed it with the right. Saw another going to my left and nailed it with the left. Went to pick up the last and when I came back my host handed me two others. I had taken two with the first shot, cleanly. Three, with the first two shots out of the gun.
It's further proven itself to be a dog nuts quail gun.

Now, those are some shots to be remembered (and I like those choke borings!).
