My first response is like revdocdrew's. .410s are used in the southeast with success on pointed bobwhites. However, bobwhites take a lot less killing than our tough desert quail in the west. I've hunted gambels for years, but not over dogs. The way I've hunted them I wouldn't consider using a .410. But your way of hunting is different from mine. At the budget you've set, there are lots of choices: AYA sidelocks, Arrieta, Grulla, the higher grades from Ugartechea, etc. If you've been comfortably successful with the 28, give the .410 a try. You're not committed to it for life is it doesn't go well. JL, in Toquerville
