Big isn't always better

for sure...but if youve ever shot rabbits for a living,you will KNOW that the above load kills far and away better than anything else even close in price....yip a good mate shot hundreds of bunnies with 7.5 target loads...but his ranges were kept much shorter than what I could safely manage.
MOST people using a beat up old single shot .12ga arent going to be going through a case of ammunition a day/night its a few well placed shots and the meat bag is full.... reloading steel for our young fella showed me how good a light load can be.... but its still not quite as good as a normal load,close but not quite the same.


MY BAD saw origonal photo and ASSUMED 12GA...... definately agree oz or less is way to go in .20ga.
