Oh, so when you say “most” hunters, you’re not talking pheasant hunters specifically. Got ya.

I never take the plugs out of my guns. Everywhere I hunt, the limit is three pheasants. No need to keep blasting.

I load three. Keep three extra in my pocket, cause I miss sometimes.

It’s pretty simple really. I said to take 3” mags out of the equation and you missed that completely. I’m not even going to try to help you understand, when we’re talking patterns and you confuse that with penetration. 🤦‍♂️

You didn’t understand my post. Read it again.

Would it make sense to compare 6 shot in a 20 to 5 shot in a 16? To keep things equal you’d have to keep the number of shot the same. If 1 oz of shot is optimum in a 16 (for the sake of comparison) the you’d want the optimum load in a 20, which would obviously be lighter. To fill out the...

Is that universally the case? Does payload, choke, velocity or range have any bearing on results? I’m not trolling. I don’t use either 16 or 20, I’m just interested.

I guess I’m not to the point where a pound and a half makes a lot of difference. Most of my walks are less than 2 hours, though, so I’m not tired before I finish and move on to the next spot. Whatever I shoot best is what I carry.

I didn’t know Browning offered dimensional lumber. Folks with A5s seem to like them.

I’m thinking better ammo selection and availability.

People have been wanting this. I hope it’s a hit!

I typically hunt alone, so I see a golden every time I go out! I’m on my second golden and even though mine haven’t been from breeders that create hunting dogs, they have had great instincts and a crazy desire to please. Unless I drop dead first, my next hunting buddy will be a golden too.

How did the replacement work out for you?

Nice gun!

…it would be in the wrong place.

Not so much a collection; I think it’s called retail therapy.

I admire your restraint. I’ve had more shotguns than I care to count and still own a number of them. Maybe not quite 20 currently.

No need to get snippy or misrepresent my view. Some people have no other option, that’s fair, but there are better options for most people.

I think the suggestion to shoot better is a flip answer. Shooting better ignores the many variables that occur when a bird flushes. I doubt anyone is 100% on pheasants with their first shot.

I prefer to have more than one shot available for those wounded birds that otherwise might be lost. Doesn’t seem sporting to risk turning a bird into coyote food when guns are available that have another shell ready to go. Nothing sporting about leaving cripples.
