Yeah, you are probably right. Honestly I have two twenty gauges I am going to be using next year to hunt with and I have a 3", 1 3/4 oz, #9 load that I roll that is pretty good. But before next season I want to get a 2 oz load of #9 dialed in for the 20 gauges.Thats a great pattern, i bet you could tighten up those fliers and keep em out of the boobies with 2oz instead of 2.25oz.
