no mate I havent had any animosity, I am C at OT usually shoot 24 but hwve been known to shoot 28 and certain folk have said if the rules allow it then why not take advantage, for the record a C or D class shootr can only win class if he or she ellects to use 28 so it doesnt really effect the top shooters

21s do break the vast majority of birds that we see week in week out (45 yard max normally) and are super soft to shoot.
They are not tighter than 28s in my experience, just less shot. Yes they will break pretty much anything out there, and consistently too. But overall 28s will break a couple more at the top end of the field.
Difficult to say at the lower end as has been mentioned, the swing in scores would make analysis very hard.
As an interesting aside I shot a round of OT when getting the gun in Germany. Used a mix of 22, 24 and 28g 7s in STEEL (shock horror). The one bird I missed was with a 28. Not scientific but interesting. Vaguely...

And on the FITASC scores going up with lighter loads- shoots have got softer, FACT. Yes people have also got better but it is more the former than the latter in my book.

Did I say or infer that it would? No!

Ask my youngest elf about shot weight,
19 out of 30 with a 410 on his first ever shoot
as many have said, put the shot where they clay is, and it will break

Don't say darky someone will complain...
Well its about time someone did a proper scientific test regarding such things, so as to make a proper assessment of things!!! Otherwise we only have personal opinions about such things. Not a good basis for a real and accurate comparison at all.
