The first 13 seconds were awesome that was a quality point, making the pointer guys jealous. I'm one of those haters I don't understand paying more for less of a shell. It's not that 28 is to small because 410 can do it too. The argument I always hear is 28 doesn't kick but what does it matter you only have two shots.
The 28 vs 12 debate is just about ballistics. A 28 has the same pattern and pellet speed as a 12 gauge, but the difference is pellet density in the pattern as there are fewer pellets in most 28 vs 12ga shells(typically 3/4 oz vs 1.5oz). With the 28 you run the risk of more injured (versus dead) birds as fewer pellets hit the bird. That said, a pheasant squared up at 20 yards is just as dead with either shell. It’s off hits and longer distances where the 28 is disadvantaged.
