1/2oz 20ga - Too much fun!

[Jay Oliver]

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.

I guess I'm one of the skeptical ones, how can one break targets with a 1/2 oz load

Thanks for the ideas Jay, I'll have to give it a try.
