Thanks mudpack. That is the conclusion I came to also. Tough game, at least for me.
And that is what makes it so much fun!
As for 20 gauge bunker loads, you could reload some to around 1,250 fps but as said before, there is nothing from the factories. BTW, there is no need to have the shot leave muzzle at 1,300+ fps. If you don't believe me, try shooting some bunker for practice with a 1,145 or 1,200 fps load and watch the targets break decisively!
For playing the game the 20 gauge reloads would be fine but all competition requires a 24 gram load. That could also be done with a minor change in a shot bushing, although many throw a bit light anyway. If you check you might find you already have a bushing that drops 24 grams of 7 1/2 size shot.
Have fun-it is a wonderful shotgun game!
