28 gauge or 410

I love a 28 and shoot a .410 a bunch mainly because I shoot doves on several fields that are .410 only. The 28 patters better than all other guns with a 3/4 oz load it has virtually no shot string so all your pellets arrive at the same time. The ability to get a 1oz load in a 28 puts it on the same playing field as the 20 with a heavy load and the 12 with a light load

I’ve shot both 410 and 28 at rabbit and quail for many years. The 28 is a better shell with a better pattern gun to gun. Recoil on the other hand is more related to the weight of the gun though. My franchi 48al 28 will out kick most 20s purely due to it only weighing a little over 5lbs. A 410 with screw in chokes is a fine choice for a person that can handle a gun but can be very frustrating for a novice. The Yoldiz over and under works great if you limit the range.
