I don't understand the hankering to shoot a gauge bigger than the need. Seriously, I'm not being mischievous. Maybe it's because I'm a meat-and-potato guy who chooses the best shotgun, rifle, fishing gear, boat, aircraft, truck or car for my mission. I know all about sentiment because I'm as hooked solidly there with the notion of another time and another great gun. Is that it? With sensible loads regardless of gauge, I can't imagine it being a bigger bang. Help, please.

You have your right to your opinion just as I or anyone else has the same to their opinion !

Personally I believe if we all agreed on what guns to use or shoes to wear it would be a pretty boring world !

If it were a totally utilitarian world there would be no 410 bore or 28 gauge or 204 Ruger etc etc etc !

There are very few rifle cartidges or shotgun gauges or bores that I don't like !

And while I am not trying to argue with you , you use the word "best" , in my honest opinion there is NO ONE best for anything be it shotguns , flyrods or whatever !

I suppose in my own situation and many others , the desire or want for 8 gauge , 10 gauge , 28 gauge or whatever is because it's there !

Remmember there is NO SUCH THING as overkill dead is DEAD period !
