I'm using a .410 with either 2.5" or 3" shells depending on gun and #6 shot.  Both guns are choked Full.

Maybe a little less sporting than wing shooting with shottie, but I like my Ruger 10-22 with iron or optical sight. Seeing the birds before they flush is a challenge in thick cover though.

More sporting is an iron sighted rimfire pistol in the hands of an accomplished shooter.
