Thanks



rfwind, I think it was just a lead pheasant load of #5s, nothing fancy. I use a lot of different stuff, sometimes the fancy/expensive stuff, sometimes just whatever is at hand and all of it seems to work fine. In the old 16 and this 20 I just get the birds in closer because I'm usually using pretty standard ammo.
I have 3 barrels for the 20, each with a different factory fixed choke. That gives me a lot of options for ammo when I use it for ducks.
