Rabbitdog,
You are mistaken about the 28-gauge having a long shot string. It has been proven many times, in several different ways, that the short string is short in the 28, the big reason it breaks clays and kills birds much better than it should.
Yes, I watched a good friend with a Beretta O/U 28 emphatically drop some roosters on our opener. Surprised me all over again? (was that the famous philosopher, Yogi Berra?
)
