The 28 gauge is my favorite as well,It doesn't look much larger than the 410, but it offers a great deal more performance on birds. After taking a pattern of nickel plated shot from my 28 gauge, most pheasants are dead when they hit the ground.
I also use a 28 gauge for most of my skeet shooting, and I haven't had any trouble finding either target loads, or hunting loads.
