Thanks Parabola, I'll check out Ross's article and get myself up to speed on the 14 gauge; but are 14 gauge guns and shells not considered obsolete on your "side of the pond"?
As to the 32-bore, it and the .410 carry the same standard 1/2 ounce pay load but I would think the 32 would pattern better; anyone had any experience testing and comparing the two?
