To compete with a 20 the 28 would have to be used with loads to an ounce. Loading the 28 with an ounce load makes just about the same sense as loading the 20ga to approximate 12ga game loads of 1 1/4oz. Just doesn't work as well as it should. For pen raised quail or game farm pheasants it would be okay, but for really wild quail, as in desert quail species or wild pheasants, you will likely be wounding even more than usual. I have used both fairly extensively including on Korean pheasants and no think birds that large are proper targets for a 28ga.
