Re: 16 Gauge--Is the ultimate hunting gauge

Quote:
Sure, all of those previously mentioned gauges are capable of killing your intended quarry. But do you really want to lug a 10 or 12 up the side of a mountain to hunt quail? There are 12 gauges light enough for such pursuits, but I wouldn’t want to soak up the recoil of those guns on a daily basis.
Why not iust use a lighter load? As is common with Brit game guns. One doesn't use some magnum blaster load for quail does one?

The 16 isn’t overly superior to the any of the other gauges

A 3-inch 16-gauge would probably lend more credence to the shotgun, at least with the general shooting public
Now he wants magnum loads for those light not overly superior 16 gs. The guy contradicts himself.
