I reload my own 12 gauge and 20 gauge. Those are the two of my choice. I could use 12 gauge for rabbits. The 20 gauge for small game and 12 gauge for larger game like pheasant and clay target shooting. I don't think I'd be interested in buying a 10 gauge for anything. I have a model 12, 16 gauge but I never use it. I would have to buy ammo and I cannot see that. 12 gauge I reload is a medium to heavy all around load. That suits me pretty well.
