I'n getting wiser (older I mean), so I decided to go for a 20 instead the old 12 I have used all my life. This video just convinced me. I will switch and try an o/u both for clays and pigeons. Unfortunately, we do not have 3 In. where I live but I think the old 2 3/4 can do the job as well. Greetings
The pop is from the powder they use-- Hodgdon Longshot aka OBP-473... It has noticeably more felt recoil than other powders in it's class. It is a great powder though, and plentiful in these dumb times.
Can't decide between 12ga or 20ga. Just because I never shot a 20ga, with the right choke and ammo, could it handle 40yards? Maybe a some longer passing shoots if needed? Just don't want to limit myself. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
@@ncsmooth22 i never feel under gund because I shoot a 20ga,i use briley light full and full in my over under,i shoot boss 3in. 5's and late season I use the 3/5 combo. Carlson bismuth bone buster in another great choice for a choke for Boss ammo and early teal i use my factory mod and improve mod, , i switched to my 20 for the same reason, just to damn old to take the beating the 12"s dish out and i never looked back!
@Jeff Barris thank you for the reply. Well I am aiming to get the Beretta A400 XP. They both felt great when I shoulder it (12ga & 20ga), but the 20ga felt more natural and like an extra arm..lol. I am definitely using Boss #5 or #3/5 , my buddy shoots them and they are outstanding. Just have enough money to either get the 12ga or 20ga, just want to make sure I'm not limiting myself. Alot of folks say 20ga is great with the right choke and ammo, and some say you have to be a really good shot with the 20ga. Just want to make sure I make the right decision before I spend that type of money. My buddy says go with what your gut says and you can always get better if need to be. I really appreciate the insight and your time. Good luck brother and be safe out there.

I been shooting BOSS shotshells 3in 20ga for two seasons and they plan kill birds from big honkers to teal! My 12ga stays at home now a days!
Love Boss! I just haven't decided which I like best, 5's, 4's, or 3-5's. All do great!
