Hi Nate, So you decided not to go with the 20 gauge?
You are going to get lots of different views on which load is the best and why.
I like to use #4, #5 or #6. Anything over #6 is going to be too small. And anything under #4 is to big. You only need 2 3/4. Remember that this is if you are using a 12 gauge.

Make sure you get what you want. If they don't have it, make them order it in. You were so set on the 20 gauge. If you can handle the 12 gauge, you will be happier in the long run. But if a 20 is all you can handle then stick with the 20.

Nate, But, can you handle the 12? If not you are going to be miserable hunting. If you can handle it and it fits well, then you will be a very happy hunter.

I shot a muzzle loader and it didnt bother me at all so I think I can take a 12 ga

4's for a 12ga? Nah i dont think so...Where i hunt u are not allowed to hunt with 4's, i reccommend 6' with a modified choke. That is what i use and it works well, beleive me i shot 40 pheasant last year.
