Exactly what L. Cooper said. I have surprised my dad and brothers with my use of a 20 gauge on doves. They are always surprised with how far I can kill doves with a 20 gauge.
The effectiveness of the larger gauges is because of the increased bore diameter which allows more pellets on target at a longer range. If you can shoot tighter chokes with smaller gauges, the lethality will be the same. However, the margin for error will be much smaller. Of course, trying to choke a .410 for the same pattern density as a 10 gauge eventually becomes impossible.
