Keith,<P>16ga., No way! The lil 20ga, gotta be the more versatile all-rounder for the uplands hands down. Sounds like ya gave up yer pet Brittish-Built hunting loads?<P>#7s??? Do they make a nice pattering noise as they bounce off the rump of that 3yr old rooster bird flying away at 40yds? S/B ok for the small framed birds tho...<P>Just a lil dig, nothing serious. BTW, did ya get yer Red Dog yet? Sometime I would like to come out to Fall City and watch ya work the pup if possible. Those Red Dawgs always catch my eye, and with my Britt gettin old I need to start thinking about a young back-up pointer.<P>Have a good holiday<BR>Scott
