I use 12 gauge L.C.Smiths for most of my hunting and for SC's. But for skeet, doves and grouse my little 28ga. O/U is my go to gun. Broke my first 100 straight at skeet with it. The last two dove seasons I averaged 1.6 shots per dove with it, with over 100 birds killed each year.

Cool? Yes. Fun? Yes. Effective? Yes.

Ammo prices being what they are, I do load for it. Even with high shot prices it's cost effective. With 13 gr. powder charges and 3/4oz. payloads I get a lot more bang for the buck.
