I'm giving a light gun (6/3# Webley & Scott) its first tryout this weekend on praire grouse in Nebraska. I've been shooting it all summer at the clays range and, for me, can verify that 7/8 oz. @ 1100 fps is much more plesant than Pure Gold 1 oz. @ 1300 fps. However, flushes are a long, long way apart and shooting can be 40-50 yards, I'm willing to put up with the considerable recoil considering a box of shells will last me three days. I'm getting "a little long in the tooth" and have been DRAGGING an 8/0 SKB 585 over those sandhills for years and believe leaving 2# in the truck will be most pleasant! That and the fact English #6's had to be made just for sharptails and chickens! I'll report on my success Tuesday.
