While not directly related to a comparison of gauge shot string, I read somewhere (one of the two NRA mags.) that ducks, geese and pheasants are killed with as few as three pellet hits in the body and are seldom hit by more than five. So how ever long the string is a miss is probably defined as less than three hits? Clay targets ought to get busted as well with a 20ga as with a 12ga with 1oz of shot and an lot of pellets going right on by.
