I "live" in a shotgun only zone, so I use my 20ga Mossberg exclusively, and I get razzed for it's small GA. Kids gun, they say. But what they can't razz me about is the wall of fame. Using the 20ga Barnes Expandable Sabot, I'm flat out to about 90-100 yds. Funny thing with that is you can't see more than 50yds clear anywhere in my swamp.
I believe RR's " to small" .223 also has an impressive wall of fame. You are both proving the same point. 'Some may think its small, but its legal, I shoot good with it and it works.' Strange that you seem to very against using a .223 when there is better choices out there, but use 20 guage, when there are better choices out there, ( better by whose standards?? he who thinks his way is best?).
As for me .223 isnt legal here so not an option ( its my coyote gun). As long as the kill is clean, use what works.
enjoy the debate.
