I stopped waterfowl when lead was outlawed. Upland birds I prefer a nice 20 gauge SxS or O/U weighing about 6-6.5#. Most pumps and semis are too heavy for all day carry. Working with pointers on a quail plantation, I carry the gun broken open over my arm since the birds hold until they send on the Cockers to flush the birds.
