Thread: 20 g loads for dummies

yes a 20 ga can punch out the same amount of lead but the shot stream will be longer.all things being equal the 20ga will recoil more. appreciate what you have got. a 20 ga is not going to foot it with a 12 ga.but it is a lovelier thing to shoot. it carries better,nicer to handle and it will do everything you want on a pond situation,but 5,s are the max. pellet size. don't make the mistake of blowing patterns out by putting big powder charges behind them.i shoot 24gm to 28 gm and have no trouble killing cleanly.
