Ok I got old. Since I seem to take my gun for a walk most of the time, I look for two things. 1) What is the weight of the gun? (I like it in the 7 pound range.) 2) How does the gun fit me for the type of shooting I am going to do?
So mostly now I use a 20 ga. pump. Mostly for pheasants, rabbits and squirrels in OH & PA.
I don't really worry about how much ammo I will carry.
I do have a 12 ga. auto but it keeps getting heavier each year.
