WOW!! That sounds like a good deal. Ammo has become more available for a 28 and I need one for a dove gun. THANKS!!

Do y'all still feel like you've got good range with the 20ga? Say, out to 40 yards? (With my current 3.5" 12ga I will shoot 50 yards)

Im confident to 60 yards with my 20g guns. No farther, the same with my 12g guns.

I get no more practical range from the 12 ga than the 20 ga (when shooting hi-test). Because the limitation for both is confidence in my ability to put the core of the pattern on his head and neck at ranges where you have to consider drop, not the gun/ammo's ability to do the job. And I have no interest in trying to shoot one that far anyway. But the beauty of the larger bores is that I can choke it wider to where I have a lot more margin for error at all ranges due to the dense pattern outside the core, while still having more range than needed to cover for any range estimation errors in the heat of the moment.

The 28 ga reduces my comfortable range to only about 55 yds. The .410 reduces that comfortable range by another 15 yds.

central ala,
I have several metal plates and screws holding my neck together so I need low recoil. Even if I could handle a 10 or 12 ga I would still shoot a 20 ga. I just like them. The 28 ga. I need where there will be more shooting like dove. Now I don't get the range these other guys get but 40 is my max and no problem.

I have a Beretta A303 that I'm thinking about using this year if I don't trade it or sell it, first. I wouldn't be scared to roll one out to 40+ with a good factory load and the right choke.

Not that I meant too, but bang flopped one at 64 steps. Another bang flop at 52 yds I beleive. That one was intentional. I had a witness too (Squeaky). smile

I will continue to shoot my 870 12 ga with 3.5" Nitros.


83% of all statistics are made up.

Hunting with 20 gauge Nova w/ 26" barrel & .562 Sumtoy. I get 185-195 at 40 yards running Federal HW #7. Since last season I've been shooting Hal's recipe of TSS 2-3/4" #9s. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out and touch one.

Ahh I was just poking fun. In a more serious note I do limit my shots to around that 60 yard mark even with TSS. I haven't had much luck hitting that noggin after that. Knocked the feet out from under a few before I learned my limitations. As with most any gun/shell combo knowing its limitations is the key to success with it.

The Spaniard will probably never be more than a 60 yd gun.
