Nice I bet that Browning is fun I have a Winchester 101 in 20.sim.-ang.king":3bu29o43 said:I have a Belgium made sweet sixteen, plus a WW2 STL 20ga. My dad has a 60's 12ga. My grandpa had a Belgian 12ga he picked up at the FN factory itself.
Here's my latest Browning to add to the collection. Citori White Lightning 20 ga 26"
To tell the truth I have only ever shot a 12 ga one time. Shot 3 rounds at some clays, and that was enough to know that the 16 and 20 were better guns. 16 for geese and deer, 20 for everything else.
Twenty gauge is a good gauge shooting original designed loads.
Problem with Americans they think bigger is better and the bigger the load the better. The shot string is what makes pass shooting so poor by most.
The biggest problem with the 12 gauge is weight reduce the weight then its punishment. It will always be the 800 pound gorilla in the room as most Americans think that have bought bigger and better ballistics along with they can buy cheap crap Ammo at the box stores.
The 28 is sweet Parker introduced it over a hundred years ago. All things being equal in shotgun ballistics no matter the gauge I shoot 16 and 28.
Powder to shot ratio is the same no matter if it is a 410 or a 10 gauge.
It is all about the pattern getting a square load along with a great wad to prevent setback and shot deformation.
