Obviously Lowell and several others that have replied have never shot live pigeons so have no base of experience. Hack has it right, nobody shoots a 20 gauge when serious money is on the line unless they don't care if they lose.

Just because you're a small bore fan and think that little guns will do the same job of big guns doesn't mean it works in the pigeon ring. If it's a 28 gauge match that's fine, but nobody shoots a 20 against 12 bores.

Wish they still made the old Winchester AA Super Pigeon shells, those were death on anything that flew.
