You are comparing apples and oranges.

Amen. Really not a fair comparison.

Light loads, heavy loads, recoil problems, no recoil problems.

None of this is as important as whether or not the gun likes the load and patterns right with it. Figure that out first. If the load the gun likes is not one that you like shooting . . . . get rid of the gun and find one that does.

Too many S X S fans think they will pattern and regulate fine with anything they stuff into it. They usually will NOT! Occasionally you may find one that is regulated with most any load, but that is rare.

They may pattern OK, but they WILL give you warts!

Since we are all having some fun here. What even is the point of a 3” 28 gauge shell? Why does someone need that? Uncovered in my research tonight…

I am half way through an old box of 1350fps RST 28g 2 3/4” #6 shells. I shoot it out of my Zoli O/U. Pheasants die before the shot gets there. They are a molar rattler at 1oz but man it’s like harnessing lightning. I have no idea how old they are they were given to me.
