[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5055770, member: 10399"] All things being equal, meaning both guns shooting great patterns for the payload, it doesn’t. But the difference between a 2 oz load of 9s (12 gauge) and a 1 5/8 oz load (20 gauge) is ~ 135 pellets. So a very good 20 gauge pattern can outpace an average 12 gauge pattern - which is what a had. I got my 12 gauge patterning “good enough, but I was never 100% happy with it. I tried various load recipes but never shot a high-end choke. It would typically shoot 70-75% of the payload in a 20” circle at 40 with 200-225 in the 10”. My 20 shoots 85-90% of the payload in a 20” circle with 250+ in the 10”. And it is a more uniform pattern. Just the difference in a great shooting 20 versus a so-so shooting 12. [/QUOTE]
