With a Trojan 20 unless you're shooting pheasant, ducks or geese I would think 3/4 oz. or 7/8 oz. loads at 1200 fps would be more than adequate. Neither I nor my guns enjoy much recoil at all, but then all I hunt with with a 20, with the exception of turkeys, are grouse and woodcock...

I 100% agree with you, problem has been finding loads in that range. Luckily, my gun club is carrying the 3/4 oz low recoil loads, so those and the 7/8 oz 1200 fps loads is probably what I will stick with. I can shoot the 1oz loads out of my O/U or my Browning B-80 20ga guns.

I figgure with the f/f barrels the 3/4 or 7/8 oz loads are plenty I'll either hit or miss anyway....
