Started patterning at about 8 with a J C Higgins .410 double, shooting it at water. Not very sophisticated, but it can be eye opening for a kid.

IMO, gauge is one of the last factors needing consideration. You have to get to heavy loads before the 20 won't do it. BTW, gauge has nothing to do with recoil other than 20 gauge guns are more typically lighter in weight which means more recoil for the same load. 12 and 20 gauge guns both come in wide enough variety you should be able to find one to suit your needs with no regard for gauge.

I ended up buying a 6.1lb 20 gauge. Next up is a 28 then I'll think about a sxs 12.

Stan, have you read Dr. Jones' book on patterning?
