Russel, been thinking I should start shooting a 12 more, as ammo is more availale. I dont have many 12's, but do have a Fox pin gun and a Ugartechea model 30 that need to get the dust blown out of the barrels.
Wally World typically has the Win Universal and/or Fed Game loads in 100 packs in 12's and 20's at $35/100 pack for those that really dont need to shoot 2 1/2" shells. These are mid velocity--1200fps or less. Ive picked up a 1000 rounds of 20 ga 7 1/2 and 8's, and not stopping there. I can load 2 1/2" 20's , but usually shoot 3/4 oz reloads low pressure loads using 20/28 in AA hulls and dont worry about it.

There is a reason I shoot 12's and 20's at clays, and 16's at feathers....

Those Nobel low recoil 20ga rounds are perfect dirt shooters out of my trojan.

I assume he is referring to a gun used to shoot clay targets.

Okay I get it... so I shoot "dirts" and when I'm in the VT hills I shoot "buds".
