A number of years ago I was having difficulties in skeet switching from the tubes O/U to the 11/87 for the 12 gauge event . So one night after a Bass and or Guiness to many I loaded up a case ( real case of 500) of 20 gauge 1 ounce loads for the 12 gauge and doubles events . Shot a couple rounds at home and crushed the birds . So two days later I was off to Winston Salem for Bruce Evans Piedmont Open at the old Bingham and Parks club . Day we arrived I was shooting a practice round with Robert Paxton with my high octane loads . I crushed all twenty five and he asked me what I was shooting . I told him and he told me every time I pulled the trigger my head cane up off the stock . He handed me a box of factory AA 7/8 ounce and said shoot these and again I rolled them all up and my head stayed on the stock . After that weekend the 20 gauge ounce loads for skeet were over . I realize they weren’t three inch stuff but it works along the same lines . Since that time the ONLY 20 gauge ounce loads I’ve shot were at Pheasents . Now with that being said if I ever acquire a Superposed 20 3” or an Auto 5 20 Mag I wanna pattern some of the Federal 20 gauge 3” #2 buck loads and of course waylay a poor innocent deer .
