Buddy and I shot 6 yesterday with 20 guage, 3 inch 1 1/8 # 5s. We shot 8 times between us. Never lost a bird. I had a 12 along... but it was content staying in the truck..

Manly men doing manly things...with a 20 gauge!!! Well done. My go to gauge and load right there.

What's the deal with Boss? Is it that much better that the rest?

All the guys I hunt with it's all we shoot. I shoot a 3/5 combo out of my 20ga and #4's & 5's out of my 28ga. When the time comes to need more shells for my 20 I will buy 5's for that as well. The nice thing about boss is it's copper plated bismuth so it's heavier than steel but not up to lead. We have had nothing but great success with it and being able to order it online and have it on your doorstep in 2 days makes it even better! They also do special runs of Nickel plated bismuth which I have heard are even better but I have yet to try any of them out.

Sorry I’m late to the thread. Still may be able to save some of you. 20 gauge is a woman’s shotgun. Give your 20 gauge a peck on the cheek and put it back in the kitchen. Grab the 12 and bring home the bacon. Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.

I use a 12 when I get serious about it.At times, I'm trying to get inexperienced people birds. This takes time, because we don't pay anybody to hunt. Sometimes I don't shoot.
