Thread: 20/12

your .20ga will do what you ask of it and be easy to carry BUT so will a similar .12ga
the above posts mostly all mention a big heavy semi but what about a nice SxS .12ga using loads of 1oz or 1 1/8th oz you are firing same shot at same velocity when talking upland or clays, and as for ducks well if you spend the time and find out what patterns well in your .12ga steel ISNT the big hoohaah people make it out to be. trying to shoot parries up the gunga at 40 yards with load of steel #4s is like shooting irate stag/boar with the .22 magnum....yip you CAN do it if you are close enough and place shot carefully but something with a bit more weight behind it works so much better. for what its worth I don't have trouble KILLING parries mallards or close geese with steel #2s but I pick loads close to 1550fps.
oh and Im a fan of .410s incase anyone thinks its .12ga or nothing.
