[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2552495, member: 101791"] I use to do a lot of ducking hunting. One friend had an 1100. He got the name of one shot Richard. Every time we go out together he get in a few shots, then would be down to one shot. I have use a lot of pump action over the years, a few brake action. I never use a auto loader. Seen to many problems with them. A pump you generally brake down in the field and correct a problem. Autoloaders different. My go to shotgun was an 870 pump in several gauges. There action were stiff to start with. After using them they would finally loosen up. I got an BPS in 28 gauge several years back. The action was smooth as glass. I now have them in 410, 28, 20, and 12 gauge. The 12 gauge is chamber from 2 3/4" to 3 1/2". I am after a 16 gauge and 10 gauge if I can find them new. The problem is you can't hardly find any of them presently My go to shotgun was an 870 in 2 3/4" chamber. I would change barrel as needed. I have barrels in 24" IC, 30", and 34" barrels. I loaded a shot shells in 2 3/4" with about 35grs of Blue dot. 1 3/8 oz shot load. I just changed shot sizes on what type of birds I was hunting until steel shot was required for ducks. The best part of that was when dove hunting. There were a lot of sky busters out there. With my 24" IC with the 1 3/8 oz load I could reach out to 50 yds. Others would try that with there 1oz loads. I would finely get mad and change to my 34" trap barrel. I could make 50yds look like child play. Others would see me taking dove at the 75yd mark. They then try it too. Watch them burn their shells. 🤣 🤣. Most never figure out what was going on. [/QUOTE]
