It's all about whatever you get used to. I wasn't using them because I thought they shot better or tighter - that was simply what I had and I didn't have any trouble killing turkeys with them.
Exactly. It's what you grow up with or get used to. Today, a 28" barrel is not any better than a 22" barrel with the correct choke. That was not the case years ago though.
