back at the start of the season for me,I decided I was going to hunt this season "old school"
both birds I killed last weekend were shot with plain old run of the mill Federal FC  3" 1-5/16oz #6's in my 20ga
the 1st bird was 38 yds
the 2nd bird was 22yds
funny how the old stuff still works

You should still find the distance that you get from 80-100 in a 10" circle using whatever lead load you desire. As for handicapping yourself by only using lead,
that would only be if you are shooting at extreme distances. If most of your shots are 30 yards and under there is no real need for the hevi stuff.

I currently carry a SxS 20 with a Win supreme #6 and a Fed HW #7 in the other barrel. Got em covered and just need to find another cooperative turkey.

What chokes are you using in your 20ga SxS?

Well i wouldn't shoot anything smaller than #6's and not sure i would try that past 35yds in a 20 gauge.  Why are you shooting lead?  Your really handicapping yourself especially in a 20 gauge.  Not saying it won't work because it will but your sure leaving alot on the table with it.

Not when your getting 105 in the ten at 40yds
