Actually guys 32 in barrels are very common on the sporting clay course. Many people have found that it helps to swing the gun. Baretta and Browning among other makers offer the 32 inch in their sporting clay models. As for loads used. 1oz of shot will do the trick with 7.5 or 8. Opinions vary greatly. I shoot 1oz of reclaimed shot and break the far ones just as well as the guys with factory loads. Some shoot 1 1/8 and others shoot those screaming 7/8 oz loads. It is true that sporting clays courses throw targets that you won't see while hunting but my thought is if you can break some of those crazy shots you will shoot better in the field. I will be ordering my 32in RBL soon. It will be used for sporting clays and waterfowl. I have been looking for some time now for a double that can shoot steel,chambered for 3" and in a configuration I desire. They are scarce unless you have deep pockets. The RBL is it and should be very versitile. And most importantly it can take the pounding of the 10's of thousands of rounds it will shoot with low maintenance. I know this because the RBL is very similar to the SKB and is built by people that care. My SKB has been used hard and with few problems. I really like the way they attach the forend hanger. That is a big improvement over the SKB when used with beaver tail forends. I broke 3 of them on SKB's with beaver tails.
