As far as size of shot charge, 28-gauge is betwixt & between.

20 ga. Standard is 1 oz.

28 ga, 3/4 oz.

410 Standard, 1/2 oz (11/16 oz for 3" mag, FWTW....)

20 gauge may be the best bang for his buck, but only Spike will know for sure if 1 oz charges from a 20 are overkill, or if 3/4 oz from a 28 is insufficient....

Hmmmm. Since I have that 20-ga. Winchester already, and a pair of "Little Skeeter" tubes to shoot 28 ga in 12, as well as .410 in 12, perhaps it's time we did a comparison shoot for familiarization (the Winchester being a full-out scattergun in 20 will prolly perform better than a chamber insert, but easier this than buying 2 more shotguns, nicht wahr?)
