Looks like you found the right load for that beautiful gun.

Awesome. I loaded some 3/4 oz for a 12g and surprised how amazing they are. I think low payload shells are way underrated

Andy, I load 3/4oz for 12 gauge too. They are nice and surprisingly effective. I also like them in my early lifters that have the squared receiver. Kind of like these 1/2oz 20ga loads I tried, they seem to perform better than they should.

For those who may be skeptical, I will only add that I shot a couple of these with Jay, and, apart from my first reaction, that they break targets like one might think they shouldn't, there is virtually no felt recoil. We took delight in watching Jay break targets well out there. It was actually kind of funny seeing his "Cat-who-ate-the-mouse" grin.

The only reason I havent tried 1/2 oz loads is because I dont have a 1/2 oz bar. I hunt with 3/4 oz loads in my 20's, and shoot alot of 3/4 oz 16's, and even in 12 ga. In these days of increasing reloading/ammo supply shortages its a win/win.
What a great little 20.

Stan, I dont think you would have any problem breaking targets with that load.
How about this :Shoot a round 25-50 targets with a standard 7/8 oz 20 load, shoot again with a 3/4 oz load, and then again with a 1/2 oz load. I bet for a good shooter there would not be much difference in the score. People seem to do quite well with 5/8 oz in RST 28s.
