I agree, and in addition, I think you should stay with 7/8 oz. loads in a 20 ga. 90% of the time, even when NOT low pressure. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.

Game loads another thing, they need larger shot and more of it. Boats I dunno. Two trips to Argentina and nearly 10,000 doves taken with it there and here, over the last 13 years, might have something to do with it. Also, getting into a shoot off for HOA in the 20 ga. event at a major sporting clays shoot. I probably don't know what I'm talking about, tho', since I have never shot a 3/4 oz. load in a 20 gauge gun in my life. And I honestly don't see myself ever doing so. If I can't handle the recoil of a 7/8 oz. load, I need to hang it up. BTW, I am NOT one of these "lighter guns are better" guys. SRH Last edited by Stan; 03/19/16 07:42 PM.

Builder, That came from the 16ga UK site under the 20ga loads. They referenced a Lyman reloading manual. Cheddite 2 3/4� 7/8 oz 800X Rem. 209P Rem RXP 20 17.0 6,600 1200 Lymans Doverham shows the same load in this thread: http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=429873 Hope this helps!
