I hunt grouse around the edges of clear cuts in New Brunswick so occasionally get a long second shot. I'm thinking my newly acquired 0 frame 16 ga Damascus GH bored Cylinder / Full should work great with the 2 1/2" low pressure 7/8 oz loads I've been testing. I've patterned 8's and 9's so far. The plan is to use 8's in the left barrel and 9's in the right. If I get into thick cover or when there are woodcock around I'll throw a spreader load in the left barrel. Same gun will be used on local pheasants with 1 oz of 7 1/2's and Bismuth #4's when duck hunting.
Got to love the 16 for it's versatility!
