It is used to introduce younger shooters to the sport with its low recoil and by expert skeet shooters, but it really doesn't belong in the game fields at all. There it serves as a method of increasing the challenge of the game. Early on, the. In comparing the National Skeet Shooting Association scores, you might be surprised how close the top shooters do in 20 gauge class vs.
Only when you examine the. If it goes bang and is fun to shoot, I generally like it. That means you want to lead-shoot, not swing-through, if you want to get the maximum amount of shot into the target area. The ammo is expensive, and unfortunately there's no cheap Lee press for it like there is for 20 and 12 gauges. However, it's pretty easy and cheap to make up a kit like this: Homemade. Way moreso than the larger gauges. Probably because every little bit counts in this tiny shell.
The plated shot is harder, so it doesn't deform as much as the soft unplated shot in the magnum shells, which makes for a tighter pattern. I usually prefer 4 shot, but I like 6 in the.
Unfortunately you can't get empty Winchester HS hulls, so you have to buy factory ammo, shoot it, and then reload it. But that is fine I guess, lol that homemade reloading kit requires shells that already have the star crimp started, anyway. The Winchester hulls can be reloaded several more times than the other brands before they burn through, which is why I like them.
They are good and thick. You can also load black powder with a cardboard wad and an over-shot card into. I've never tried this, but the extra case capacity of the full-brass case probably gives about the same volume as a 2. I've also heard of people fire-forming 9. Edit: I only mention this because the all-brass shell will last pretty much forever, unlike the plastic hulls, and may be easier to hand-load with a primitive setup, since you are gluing in an overshot card instead of messing around trying to get a good star crimp without a proper press.
However, there is no real load data for this sort of thing, so you have to use black powder to avoid over-pressure, and that is a mess to clean up Final Edit: Something that really blows my mind is How come nobody makes a set of.
The shell is skinny enough to fit, unlike the larger gauges Sometimes I think I should try to make such a die set out of some. But I am loathe to buy a set of dies and then discover that they're not tall enough or something, heh.
I shoot these loads through a full choke, and it knocks the squirrels out of the treetops quite well. I've killed a couple of opportunistic deer with the Brenneke. The Brenneke slugs are far far superior to other brands I've tried, because they hold together and penetrate instead of splattering into nothing within a half-inch like the normal foster slugs seem to in the.
Unfortunately, the Brenneke slugs are awfully expensive and they don't sell the stuff to reload them. So in summary, if you want something that is easy to shoot well, then stick with the 12 gauge IMO.
But I find the. There are other guns that are better when I want to maximize my chances of getting a good shot and putting some grub in the crock pot, but sometimes it's about the fun and challenge rather than the practicality.

I grew up using a single shot with full choke. My dad would give me 5 shells i could waste 1 other had to account for. As for a 20 guage i would choose it over a 12 any day because it will do anything the 12 can, and i can shoot it all day. Remember it the nut behind the gun that makes the differance.
Hunt4lyf Supporter Supporter. I love the , I've shot a ton of stuff with it but you must remember that in California you have to use non lead shot now for hunting so that really limits the ammo you can buy.
Never trust the choke markings on a. I have two and have tested several more and they never pattern to what the choke is marked on the barrel. Most that are marked Full struggle to give an IC pattern at best and when you are only working with about pieces of shot that leaves big gaps for game to run through.
Close up rat dispatchers at best. Better than no gun at all but not ever going to approach 20 or 12 bore for efficiency. I too got a single at the sage age of 11, and I hunted and killed every small game critter you could think of.
I even shot dove on the wing with it, I killed 5 or 6 dove on each of the few hunts I got to go on with my Dad and Grandpa. And, we hunted deer with it to, but I never got to shoot at one with that gun.
I haven't shot one in years, so I don't know what the ammo prices are these days. But, if I had the cash, I would use one again, both for nostalgia and because I know I can clean up on small game with it. This small-bore scout rifle is the author's constant companion. From early tackdriving muzzleloaders to today's long-range game getters, these rifles have earned their reputations for hitting where hunters aim.
Little guns, big fun—a Mossberg and TriStar Viper. Phil Bourjaily. CZ USA. Want more of the Great Outdoors? Well, the third shot is always handy when doing pest-control work and this is a really elegant little gun. And, being a semi-auto, the recoil should be lighter than with a conventional, break-action gun. Some manufacturers recommend running gas pistons dry but Jason said that although the oil turned black, it was easy to wipe off every time the gun was cleaned.
The gun is a multichoke and comes with a set of multichoke tubes and shims for stock adjustment. Make sure the latter two items are present when buying a second-hand gun. The receiver is in a non-reflective satin finish.
But, like the Huglu, it is built on a proper.
