I've been a fan of the 20ga for a long time but have pretty much fazed them out of my collection, instead going with light weight 12's shooting an ounce/28gram loads of 6's. I have a Bernardelli copy of a Churchill XXV all steel and walnut that weighs in a 5 lb 15 oz and a Darne at the same weight that are just a pleasure to carry and lightning to mount. I still have a smattering of 16's but mostly in Drilling and a pretty little Spanish sxs.
