Been looking at a new Ithaca pump in 28 gauge for all day carry in the woods tracking down ruff grouse . I have a 20 gauge o/u i use as well but really would like another smaller gauge shotgun for fun and light carry weight . Anyway , not being familiar with the 28 gauge I wonder how effective is on upland game out to similar ranges in comparison to 20 gauge upland loads . I guess having a 12 and 20 gauge already I want an excuse to get the 28 gauge to try and see how I like it !
