12 ga is by far best all around gun and shells are cheaper and put more bb in air.
go shoot clay birds with your 20 ga.then pick up a 12 ga. let me know how you do!

Sproul, this is funny!

The only reason to use a shotgun larger than a 20ga or 410 for birds is if you are a bad shot. I would put my son or grandson up against anybody with a 12 ga and they would smoke em. I taught my kids with a 28 ga and they can out shoot most who use a 12 ga. Not braggin, just disagree with your post.
Learn to shoot right and you don't need the extra shot!
