I have mot patterned the ones in my 20 but they did seem to perform well. I have a set of non-ported for my 12 ga 725 Feather and they did pattern better than the factory tubes.
I got the same gun a year ago. I used 2 3/4" Federal Premium 1oz 5's. They did good for me. Later in the season I put Federal blue box 3" 5's in the second barrel. They did well also. I run Briley ported chokes in light modified and improved modified.
What a tragic situation.
About 15 years ago I hunted with a guy who had a Lab with all kinds of titles. That dog did not retrieve without using the e collar. I will take my imperfect dogs that are out there enjoying themselves over that any day of the week.
I have just done a version of Fajitas. Just put the Pheasant breast, onions, peppers, and fajita seasoning in a crock pot. The meat will just shred and put it on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, salsa, and whatever else you like.

After a few years of looking I picked up a 20. It is time to start picking up some shells. While there is stuff on the shelf it still seems to be a take what you can get situation, Any recommendations? How do 2 and 3/4" work?
6 years ago I bought a 725 Feather 12ga and fell in love with it. A few years ago, I decided to add another in 20ga. Post Covid, I finally got one through Gunbroker a few weeks ago. It felts great in my hands. Now to get some 20 ga loads.
