This topic would probably get more response in a "shotgunning" forum, but since you are here already, let's see what you get.

I have only shot trap a couple of times, but I have shot hundreds of rounds of skeet and sporting clays. I prefer an over/under for any shotgun sport, but I have shot many rounds with my Browning A-5 and Benelli Super 90.

It sounds like you are doing fine with the gun that you already have. Unless you just want an excuse to buy a new gun (which I don't need much of an excuse myself), I would stick with what you are comfortable with.

i also shoot a mossberg 500 w/ full choke. i usually get about 23 or better.

Yes.

I've just picked it up again after 15 years (and that's 15 years of not shooting any firearms). I've only gone once so far and managed to shoot 20 my best round and the high teens otherwise.

I shot my 870, but I'm going to give my Spartan a chance later this month.

Shoot often. Use my 870 and my mossberg silver reserve o/u usually averaged 23-24 last year thats through about april to august. Occasionally used my 1100 and 11-87. Best so far is 100 straight. missed 125 by 3 so hopefully i can get it

I used to shoot a LOT of trap. I still have my Chas. Daly Broadway O/U. Not too many of them made with the Broadway rib. For those of you shooting in the 22-24 avg. from the 16 yd. line, you are doing very well, indeed. If you are getting those averages from anything behind the 20, congrats!! Annie Oakley and buddy shoots used to be my favorites. Still have my old MEC 650 press, but haven't used it in quite awhile.
Favorite load.....AA hulls, 17.5 gr. 700X, Rem. RXP wads, Win. 209 primers, 7 1/2 shot.
Practice, practice, practice............
