Would like to know if the 20 gauge scores are on par with 12 scores.
Your experiences please. If it is a second hand story,please indicate as such.
Its cold here about 19 deg F but not unpleasant for trap.
I shot a 20 for fun and was pleasantly surprised. The STS factory 8 worked well but I did have 4 lost for various reasons that I can't directly equate to the gauge. For example I know I head lifted a couple early on. After remedying that I got down to business. I usually shoot 12 ga in 7/8 oz or 3/4 and usually post a 23 or 24.
I had more losses the second time around with 1 Oz Federal Heavy Game loads in 7 1/2. What was interesting was since this was just practice, I loaded both barrels. The IM was usually on but if I missed I took a second shot that was always successful. That is a fairly long putt that I have to attribute to 7 1/2's but I wonder on the quality of that shot (soft?) or was there an (unlikely) change of POI between the two shells?
thanks
