I recall when the 3" 20 gauge magnum came out and people flocked to it. Apparently it put a big dent in 16 sales.
Lately however I hear guys complaining about their mag 20's and most shoot the older and shorter shell. The belief is that the mag 20 spits out a longer, narrower and rougher pattern. Not to mention that it "barks" like mad.
I own a new 870 that has a steel shot choke tube for the 3" steel shell and I may use it on geese. But usually I shoot the shorter shell.
As the following of the 3" 20 mag wains will the 16 come back? I hope so. I shoot old 16's and like them.
