I need a light recoiling 20 gauge load that would work for pheasants for my 50 pound 8 year old daughter. I know different powder and wads can make a difference and I'm thinking somewhere in the 3/4 ounce 1150 or so fps would likely be max. Suggestions?
I have a sizemaster 12 gauge press and the conversion dies for 20 gauge but it looks like a pain to convert so I'm considering a 20 gauge Lee load all press or just dropping enough coin for another sizemaster in 20 gauge. I typically only load my hunting loads and specialty loads and buy factory stuff for target practice. I'd like to start loading 20 gauge steel too because it's hard to find right now and I'm starting to carry a 20 when I hunt with kids so we only have to take 1 gauge of ammo. Most of my steel is factory 12 stuff but I'm light on 20.
