If I was buying a new gun it would be the Weatherby SA-459 20 ga.

Love my little 500 I set up last year.

Is a 20 gauge as powerful as a 12 gauge

20 is more than plenty, plenty died with a 28 ha and 410

I'd be Leary to run it in a 1500 dollar gun. The shot makes the gun not the other way around.

Power is equal out of either gauge. A #9 pellet at 1000 fps has the same amount of energy regardless of gauge. The difference is in payload. The 12 gauge can push more shot, but you reach a point of diminishing returns with TSS. I load for both, 1 5/8 oz load in the 20 and a 2 1/4 oz out of the 12. The 12 only holds what I feel is an acceptable pattern for 5 yards past the 20. I've reached this conclusion not by using a formula, but by slinging shot down range.

Wonder why 20 pattern better than 12

kwild835

It doesn't pattern better out of a 20.  It just patterns more than adequate out of a 20.  I would shoot it out of your Maxus if I were you.

I thought about doing that  I have a 935 also would you guys try 8 or 9 shot I will be ordering from apex ...tss is a new animal to me

Just curious why you would be leary? I do want to try it but one of my dedicated turkey guns is expensive so I'd rather not damage anything.

I shoot it out of a Benelli M2 20ga.
