I remember Morph and Mindy. Great TV show indeed. Is there a: 20 gauge society? a 28 gauge society? a .410 society? Most serious shotgunners tend toward a 12 gauge- you can shoot 7/8 ounce lite loads, get 2.5" shells for your Limey doubleguns from RST, and when out in Nebraska or the Dakotas in late Oct-into Nov. after "ditch parrots"- every Mom and Pop small town hardware will have 12 gauge shells- not so certain about 16's. Why not ask all the Pheasant Hunting operations that advertise in Shooting Sportsman how many of their clients shoot 16 or 20 gauge shotguns when they are paying 4 figures for 3 days hunting cacklebirds-with room and board?? When the money is on the line, the 12 is just fine..
