I have a friend who lives in Ohio. He has the 20 gauge barrel for his Encore. He swears by it. He uses the Hornady 20 gauge saboted bullet's. He swears his 20 gauge is accurate out to 200 yards. I am going to get one this summer. I may get to hunt with him next year.

With your knowledge of ballistics,I am sure you are impressed with the ballistics of all the new ammo available for shotguns. My friend swears by the Hornady. Tom.
