"Apparently the 28 standard load and the 12-gauge pigeon load are both balanced loads in terms of the length and weight of shot column relative to bore diameter

Lary;
Since I am such an absolute Idiot & you being so Smart, then would you please explain to me just what this expression means, without applying any Art or Mystery, just plain common Horsesense logic that even I can understand.
Now I did not use "Balanced to one another" that's totally your words. What I said was to quote his words that they were balanced in terms of shot wt & column length in relation to bore DIA. Now DENY that's what he said.
That "in terms of the length and weight of shot column relative to bore diameter" makes it a mathamatical ratio, PERIOD, there's simply no geting around it. As has been well shown the statement as made is simply not correct.
So just what does the 3/4oz 28ga & the 1 1/4oz 12ga loads possess that makes them superior to all other loads in all other gauges. Inquiring minds want to know??? Don't give me no mystery, I just want the Facts Man, Nothing but the Facts.
If I'd wanted to deal in the Occult I would not have bought a book with the word SCIENCE in the title.
