Fun with twenties continues today when I appeared at the local Izaak Walton range with my second SC single barrel twenty gauge for test fire. I patterned the Colonel Cutts twenty on a pattern sheet and was impressed with the 7/8 ounce pattern of #9 at about 25 or 30 yards. A bumble bee would be hard pressed to escape. At some time in the future, I will load some serious 1 ounce #7 1/2 loads and get some real patterns at 40 yards. The Cutts twenty gauge single is only a 30" gun, but much fun to shoot.
