Incidently FWIW I recently picked up a flat of European made 20 gauge buckshot which unto itself is no big deal , however they have #1 buck instead of the usual #3 or possibly #2 Buck .

I tried them in my Parker VHE 28" gun and they shot nicely at 25 yards . My Sterlingworth 28" gun also did fair to middlin . But my Sterlingworth 26" gun and Browning Superposed not so great . And this whole scenario seems ass backwards to me , the 28" Sterling and Parker are M&F while the Browning and 26" Sterling are both IC&M . Still have a Superposed skeet I wanna try the stuff in as well .

The 7x57 or 7x57R ("Little Seven") is an excellent round. Load or buy the 9 gram (139/140 grain) load. It kills like lightning. I have years and years of hunting experience in Germany and Luxembourg and saw gobs of animals killed with it. I used its big brother the 7/65R but loaded it down.
