[QUOTE="wallhangergun, post: 2940989, member: 120133"] My opinion about the 20 gauge for kids is that reloading light is even more important than it is for a 12 because I've seen men buy kids lightweight, cheap pump shotguns and they don't realize with factory ammo that kid is getting more recoil from that 20 than he's getting in his heavy, long 12 gauge trap gun- and then he wonders why the kid doesn't like to shoot? There are good 3/4 ounce light loads published using special wads (from Ballistic Products, sp 20 long) or regular wads with filler-cards and with the right cases (old AA, sporting 20 long) you can get the load down to 11/16 and still get a good crimp, and good patterns. I like Red Dot (12 grains) for my antique guns. Even Damascus (I know it's not politically correct to shoot Damascus) Easy on the gun, easy on the shooter, clean... the hard part is keeping the kid supplied with enough ammo. [/QUOTE]
