sort of a question coming out of Lowells small bore post. If the 12ga,16ga, and 20ga. were all loaded with 1oz of shot, 1200fps. and the guns were patterned to shoot the same. Are we not talking about the same ballistics as it might affect shooting a game bird. So much is written about the marginal ability of the 20 to be a pheasant gun. Granted, if the 12 is loaded up it would have more firepower, but if these vintage damascus were loaded as above, would not all be equal??? Randy
