Go with the 30g load, Fiocchi 20HP is the best I've found so far.

Made right here in Timaru. The target suff is the same price as 12g. Love my 20g for everything.

Are mossberg silver reserves good? I like the look of the top one but maybe in 12g

Agree with the others get what fits. I find the newer Mirokus to be a bit longer in the stock than most which suits me well. I'm going to go against the grain and say get a 12 bore if it tickles ya fancy, you can always run lead in them

I own a 12b Beretta Ultralight, a Browning 12b B25 and a Beretta 687, 20b O/U with double triggers. I also have a Miroku 20b O/U wich is hardly used.
Once you start using a 20b you never go back to a 12b. I use my guns for walked up rough shooting over my dogs. The 12b Ultralight is hardly heavier, but the balance isn"t as good. The 20b Beretta and the Browning are my favourites. They feel light. A 20b is a dream to carry and shoot. Also less noise. For me a double trigger 20b is about the perfect gun. A double trigger 16b, could maybe be just as good. Isn't it possible to find a good secondhand Beretta, Browning, Fabram,... they might be as cheap as a lower quality new gun and you'll never loose money on it when you ever would think of selling it on.

Is the club made there? Cause the hunting stuff is imported.

The target stuff is made there, they aren't going to re-tool for another run, so once it's gone, it's gone.

One in each ear keeps you balanced!
With a 28 guage you can buy a wad that takes a .50 cal lead ball, just looking at getting some from the states, I have a sleeved 12 guage.

worth looking at a huglu, have one in 20g. nice flow to it.

Had thought about them. Where did you get yours? They are bought in by Hayes aren't they? Or was it Stagers?

staeger was bringing them in at the time so assume they still have the agency. Got mine from sportways.

No, they went away from it Barefoot as the manufacturer would let anyone import them.

Good solid shotguns though, got a 20ga SXS.
