I have hunted with 12 gauge guns of all types and weights for almost 50 years now. Last year, due to an accident and remaining shoulder injury, I shot a Beretta A303 20 in SD and NM for pheasant, wild and pen raised. I enjoyed the light weight as well as the practically non-existent recoil with 2.75's and 3's. The pheasant didn't seem to notice the difference in loads, unless it was for the last micro second before their lights went out! I was using IC all the time. If I had a pattern problem, well, like I said, the birds didn't know it. I have, during my 57th year of hanging around, finally "discovered" the 20, and I think it is here to stay!!
