[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 1609126, member: 39547"] I run a pair of Browning citori 12ga for bigger birds or short walks. A 20ga white lightning if I’m chasing quail or long walks are in store. I’ve got both Briley and Carlson chokes whichever I got the best deal on at the time. Normally run IC/Mod in both for hunting and if shooting skeet or sporting clay I run skeet choke. Dove and quail in 7-1/2 or 8, game loads for chukar and pheasant 6 or 7-1/2. I’ve found the Ic/Mod works for me running either gun or load and I like the extra reach I sometimes need after a bird has been missed or flushed out a ways. I’ve hunted with guys who swear by the newest wiz bang shells and pay way 2-3x more than normal lead shells but aren’t increasing their hits. I fail to see what the big deal is with these new fancy shells we aren’t turkey hunting where super tight hard hitting patterns need to be. Maybe late season pheasant flushing at 40-50 yard and steady 30+ mph wind they’d be advantageous but I haven’t seen enough difference in performance for me to buy them. Anyone have info on this phenomenon? [/QUOTE]
