I shoot 1 ounce hunting loads in two different 20 gauge guns, AyA no.2 and Beretta 687, at 5 pounds 15 ounces and do not have a problem with recoil.
Why would a 12 bore with similar loading be a problem ? I might even try mild 1 1/8 ounce loads,but that would be about my limit in such a light gun.
How would you feel about putting those same loads through those guns 100-250 times, on a typical league night at your club? Or, in Argentina?
Recoil sensitivity is a progressive thing. If you don't understand it, you are blessed.
But, that doesn't mean you won't come to understand it.
Lloyd, that gun had but 1 7/8ths DAH. I wouldn't have had to worry about shooting it well, I was quite safe from that siren.
Best,
Ted
