    Just to add to the 6's. I find that it only takes one pellet to kill a quail. i dont get a lot of shot to shit birds Also run very open chokes usually skeet and skeet 1. Or Improved Cylinder.
    Normally run a 28 gauge or 20. Dont even pick up the 12 these days
    mikee and oraki like this.

    I like the 16 ga with 6 shot for quail.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
