True enough.

A standard 20 target load is manageable in a 6 1/4 pound gun. I've burned a couple hundred a day many, many times.

But when you get under 6 pounds, a 28 gauge target load in a 20 gauge hull is just the ticket.

The trend is toward loading the 20 lighter, and we have wads and components that make this easy now.

It took me a while to come around, but the acquisition of a 6 pound 20 gauge SxS convinced me.

You shoot better when it doesn't hurt.
