It's great for doves and upland game, but the list is stupid.
What's the advantage over 12 or 20?
Ammo cost more so you can brag to your friends?!

What's the advantage of a 12 gauge? Besides for birds of course.

28 for clays? Really?
Years ago, I borrowed a SxS 16 for clays and with it, you had to be within 30 yards to know you hit the clay. Otherwise, you thought you missed. Upon closer inspection, the clays were peppered and still intact.
Used a 12 the same day and had no issues with any range. And, there were no intact clays.

Jibberish, any gauge shotshell is able to dust clays.

The advantage is lethality. At 50 yards or less a 12 gauge is far more lethal than a poodle-popping 5.56 based on energy alone.

At what range? Choke? Which choke? No choke?
We reused a couple cases of peppered and unbroken clays.

Isn't that a bit like a list of the 3 fastest species of sloth ?

Not true. At 50 yards, 2 or 3 pellets if that will hit the target.

The new Flite control wadding allow dense (chest size) 50 yard patterns Will. Ever pattern them?

No. I don't like antiquated technology with large, high recoiling, cumbersome ammo that you cannot be precise with.

28 ga., shoots a handful of shot pretty good, or a .58 cal ball. Gee, I'm trendy aren't I.

Have an old 28 ga single shot I "acquired" for the right price. Think it's an H&R. I'll have to get into "the room" and look at it. never shot it.

What range? Are you trying to bust clays at 50-60 yards? Your everyday scattergun isn't meant for that. I have a couple traps in my backyard, I'm shooting to somewhat simulate if I was out bird hunting 30-35 yards and in. You need to know the limitations of that particular firearm. Now my turkey gun with the choke and shells I use I have no problem taking birds out to 60 yards.
It's not about the gauge, hell I like shooting the .410 but it has it's limits.
This is my favorite backyard claybuster. Remington Express 28 gauge. I bought this off a guy who carried it behind the seat in his pickup. The buttstock had had something spilled on it, I cleaned and sanded but the wood would not take a finish. So looked for a new stock, not easy for a small frame 870. So I sent both out to a stock maker and he put them on his duplicater or whatever it's called and made me that set, I picked the laminate. Meanwhile the barrel didn't have a choke system so sent it to Briley for the thin wall system they have. I shoot this thing all the time and love it and turn those clays to dust.
I've taken it out for bunnies and those lathargic state release pheasants, no problem taking either.
