I own a few shotguns in 12, 16 and 20 gàuge that are within an ounçe or two of 6 lbs and àll of them are a decent fit. I shoot the same one ounce load in all of them for hunting.
If someone asked which killed better I couldn't tell them because they all seem to work just fine. The light 12 feels more at home chasing grouse and woodcock with it's 25" barrels but shines on pheasants over pointers. I started with a 16 gà ànd use it for everything from snipe to çoyotes(in a drilling) ànd all my upland 16s have 28" barrels feel better in open country. The 20s have long and short barrels ànd seem to work everywhere.
I shoot the 12 gauges most at clays just because it is easier to load for.
5hat didn't help much did it.
