I tried him on a 20 gauge shell-chunker, but the loads were either too unpleasant for him or too weak to reliably cycle the action.

Or perhaps he is just his father’s son and understands that 28 gauges are for gentlemen, while 20 gauges are for girls.

Your welcome Victor. At the time Gia was about 50lbs soaking wet and that gun hammered her. I wasn't set up to reload. The 20g gas gun with reloads are just great. Now if I could only find more Green Dot.
