picking shot size

Sadly when you post honest questions there are trolls like CH312 who really make it worse for people trying to learn. and make a bad taste about the gun community. Luckily though there are many more people willing to help than Vollpatient like CH312.

i guess im the only one that thinks teaching new shooters (especially hunters) that checking what you are shooting is very important whether its a rifle or a shotgun, at the range or in the bush. its small thing like this that can make a huge difference at the end of the day.

we all know what can happen if you shoot the wrong load. buckshot or slug when wing shooting? 20 gauge in a 12 gauge? 3" in a 2 3/4"?

i was taught at a young age to ALWAYS check each load before putting it in the gun or mag and to check if other load for you. a habit developed and i have never loaded the wrong cartridge or shell in over 10 years of shooting.


some have pet peeves with shooting such as eye protection, ear muffs, etc. this is mine;)

I have no pet peeves with grandfathers who put a shell in a gun and let a kid have a shot...

I agree with the safety aspect, but come on...seriously...do we need to call out Pops on this one?

The firs time my wife ever shot a shotgun...I put the shell in it...and I din't show here what size it was either...

Me and Pops will meet in hell..

So why not just learn to STFU when you have NOTHING to add to a post?

Great job seal hunter,
Want to come and mediate our next contract for us. I knew I liked you for some reason.
Anyhow i prefer my 20 to 12 for chickens. And being the cheap skate I am I'll use 7 1/2 cheap target loads out of the 12 but will splurge and shoot 6 outta the 20.
I like spitting pellets onto my plate anyway.
