Keith, I have never had any luck with factory ammunition. I had a Benelli 20 for some years, and it killed birds better than it patterned. Up to 25-28 yards it was reasonably reliable but that was the limit. Add more choke, and it blew the patterns. A couple of Model 12's in the same gauge, about the same.

So, I am on this quest to find some loads I can live with. Unique seems to be promising. This is the first time I have made a concerted effort to find what my guns in 20 ga. will shoot.
