Yeah, I dont ever shoot spreaders thru my 20"s, cause most are already open choked, except for the PH. Brett Hoops was working on opening up the pattern on a F/F 20 for the grouse woods and had some nice patterns with his spreaders. I remembered i had this bag of brush wads that I had never tried.
I am going to take my PH 20 pheasant hunting this year.

This is my experience with full choked guns and will not suite everyone. If your gun is tightly choked and you are worried about "blowing the bird up" just go to the lightest shot charge you can find and I'm talking 5/8-3/4oz. in the three most popular upland gauges; 20, 16 and 12. Keep the speed in the 1160- 1250fps and you would be surprised at the success you will have.
