Those light loads are mostly tasked with running dirty autoloaders. They do it. Mostly.

But, a question I’ve always had is if you know a gun is prone to cracking, why are people interested in them? We have collectively known that 20 gauge Flues guns often end up cracked. That sounds like a great reason to step up into a NID, or a Western Arms, or a Nitro, or, some other piece of Americana that doesn’t have a bad reputation. Unless you are into hanging them on the wall, what is the draw of these guns?

Kinda’ related, Dewey literally didn’t have a kind word to say about them.

Best,
