I am shooting my 20 ga more and more. Currently shooting 7/8 oz #2 steel at 1550 fps. I see Faststeel makes a 1 oz load at 1350 fps. Who has has shot both and which do you prefer? Thanks

Why #2?
It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.
Back when I actually duckhunted and killed a fair amount of birds, my gun REALLY liked the 1oz of federal #2 at like 1350fps. I never had much of the 7/8oz loads that were moving faster pattern as good. It really didn’t like xperts or faststeel. But those 1oz loads killed a pile of birds.

I've been using Boss 3" #5s. Would have gotten 3s but they were back ordered. 1-1/8 oz at 1350fps. They are awesome and seem to hit pretty hard.

adult people that wingshoot primarily with 20s are like crossfitters.
Shot Kent 1 Oz #4s for years. Was the best patterning load out of my Berettas
ETA: This was for decoying ducks...there was no need for high velocity

I got a 20ga and 3 cases of Hevi-x as a package deal a few years back. I have 2’s, 4’s, and 6’s. For decoying ducks or a wood duck shoot those 6’s are the ticket. One of my buddies has been hand loading some experimental shells for turkey as well as ducks/geese. 2.75” 1oz mix of tungsten 2/7’s, and they ain’t no joke. I wish I could get him to roll me a couple boxes, but with the cost of things right now, they’d be $200/box. Lol

I actually saw one of those the other day for the first time.
I like the heavier slower loads in 12 and 20
I found my first one during my Wednesday lunch round.. I threw it back towards the edge of the fairway for maybe a kid to find.
Pro move
