That is interesting Kevin. Appreciate your perspective. For those 40 and 50 yard shots what chokes are they typically shooting and what sized shot. I would think at least modified and imp modified and probably 5 and 6 shot.
That is interesting about them shooting 7/8 ounce loads. 7/8's is the ideal square load for a 20 bore and obviously less than square with the 12 gauge. Those must be some tight patterns with limited shot stringing in that 12. I always knew the Brits were big into squaring the load and shot columns.
Btw I know Browning was a big proponent of back boring and makes sense to reduce recoil using tight sealing plastic wads. Interesting that they are doing an about face going back to the tried and true nominal bores based on fiber wad mandate. Give the consumers what they want. That is very good performance with fiber wads. Just goes to show you how much thought goes into getting the right loads in harmony with gauge and game.
