Battle I thought mine handled like a 28 instead of a 12. It was light, very light. The IM patterns were very even and killed cleanly out to 30 yards. Beyond that I refuse to shoot much. Perhaps in the right hands it would go further but I think it was conceived as a ultra light weight game gun. It is a niche gun for someone who just wants something different. You could do the same thing with a 16 or 20. But those short 2" shells were the neatest looking things and paper always trumps plastic in my world. So I loaded Federal Paper hulls that I cut down to 2" and roll crimped. 15/16 ounce of shot was capable of taking wild quail, doves and farm raised pheasants. two rounds of skeet was about my limit as that light gun was not that much fun to shoot in high volume and I never felt it would stand up to heavy use.
