Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Which is better, a 16 gauge or a 12 gauge?

For upland hunting, I would submit that the best is whichever you like the best. I love the 16 ga. I have a J.P. Sauer & Sohn SxS double that is lighter than many 20 guages and is pleasure to carry and shoot. One thing however that any 16 ga. fancier will tell you is to stock up on shells whenever and wherever you find them.
