Hello.
Where may I find a chart where I can compare easily the drams, lead shots weight... for 12, 16 and 20 gauge shotguns ammo from differents makers.
thank you

I haven't seen a "Shooter's Bible" recently, but they used to contain all that information. A lot of other information as well, but that's one of the few places you'll find it all in the same reference source.

If you're willin to forget about stupid dreq there is neat big book out there. I found it in used book store. The title is 'Shotshells and Ballistics' by John Taylor. It gives the following info for different loads from 10ga 89mm to .410 65mm: payload wt # of pellets, recoil energy, recoil velocity, velocity, avg pellet energy, time of flight in sec at 7 different distances plus shell characteristics. Really neat publication for comparing different loads of ALL TYPES.

PS. When one shoots 5.5lb 12br it's nice to know recoil energy & velocity in 8lb test gun before contemplating purchase of certain ammo.

Thank you.
I am looking for something like that but with much more choice:

I use Taylor's book all the time, but it's already a little bit dated due to loads that have appeared on the market since it was published. And if you're just looking for a quick reference--shot charge, velocity, etc--the ammo lists in Shooter's Bible are easier to use.
