One other benefit
Neither Elk or Cat mentioned it, you shoot more, a lot more and you become, as they have a dead shot. In other words they never miss. When Elk says his scores didn't change, that's because he hits them all. Great guys to have shooting if you are a dog handler!
I shot only upland any more and use #4 lead in a .410 but if I was starting over I'd get a 28 ga. like the one Elk uses.
I started because of poverty, 12ga. but now for my .410 I do it because I can't find any factory ammo to buy. I don't miss birds either but that's because I have a very good dog, and she tells me where the bird is and when it is going to flush. The shots are about 15 yards!
I love the hobby.
