I know my one tightwad (I have 2, one is new) throws some really good pb patterns to about 35 yards max, right around 100 in the 10 and really shines with htl loads.  I have the other new one up for sale in the classifieds btw.

Winchester 1 1/4 ounce 5's and Federal 1 5/16 ounce FC lead.  For some reason the FC wads like the tightwad.

.570 seems to be a good all around e.d. for 20 ga...ex.rsf , j.h , t.w, all seem to put up good numbers with a variety of shells....
