I never have, though I guess that's the perk of shooting with a bunch of people. It cools off between stations. All game guns, in my experience, get really hot. My dad has a 50 year old Stoeger 28 that gets hot through the forend.

What else would anyone in their right mind use but a SxS. Your two eyes are horizontal [except for Rich after a hard night] , the same as a Parker so it only makes sense.

You are talking to the choir. Even my wife is switching to side by sides after avoiding them for years

Shot with one of my LC Smith 12 Field Grades today, so did not need RST shells. It reminded me how much easier RST shells are compared to regular shot.

My dad loads 20 gauge shells with 28 gauge loads and puts a Cheerio on top of the shot. It hardly kicks at all there's only 50 less feet per second.

I load 3/4oz. (28ga load) in my 20ga loads now using the new Claybuster 3/4oz wad and 20/28 Alliant powder. A real winner.

All I load is 3/4oz in the 12ga. It might give too tight a pattern. We shot a round of clays Sunday and 4 out of the 5 guns on my squad were SxS's. Three were Parker lifters. Dave was shooting a Parker lifter 10 [with 10/12 Gaugemates] he just bought at Bachelders and the firing pin broke. Luckly I had an extra I made up at home. That and some Coke can shim made it tight again. He'll get it redone at Bachelders soon as Brad finishes up with a couple he has over there. At my club half or more shoot SxS's.
