1100 FPS is 1100 FPS, and #8 shot is #8 shot, don’t matter if it’s 7/8 oz or 1/8 oz. just my thoughts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The further you try and kill a Dove the less dense the pattern. So....a 7/8 oz. load from a 20 will not be as dense as a 1&1/4 oz. load from a 12 say out at 40 to 45 yards with say a modified choke. Therefore with the 20 you will have "Holes/Gaps" in the pattern that a small target like a dove can be completely missed or maybe just one pellet say in the Azz and all you get is a few feathers!! I'm a very good shot and I've tried the longer shots with both...Yes you'll can kill one at 45 yards with a 20....but not near as consistently. Not to mention that the shorter the stack of shot of a larger gauge will pattern better than a taller stack of a smaller gauge.....410 is a prime example.

I'm asking because I don't know: Why do they even make larger caliber shotguns, if there's no difference in killing power/range?

But some of us aren't "most folks"....as the statute of limitations has run out....my best shoot in the U.S. was 114 on a field near Loachapoka in '81....my Buddy beside me had 97. I'll shoot my 12 and shoot beside anybody with a sub-gauge and most likely beat them in numbers....shot a LOT of Doves growing up and through my thirties when we had a LOT of Doves....
