I've shot 12 gauges pretty much since I started Turkey hunting. I had an over/under that would kick your shoes off and I currently use a Mossberg 835 ultimag.
I normally only feel the recoil at the range, never when I'm shooting at a bird. But the last couple birds I have shot, my neck paid the price the next day. I have a bulging disc which normally doesn't bother me too much. And now my shoulder is starting to ache.
I know I should ditch the 3.5 inch shells, but I have a Winchester 1300, 20 gauge I actually forgot was in my safe. It's not camoed out and it can take chokes.
I'm really thinking about starting a gun project and I am going to Google the heck out of it.
Do any of you have experience with current 20 gauge loads? Am I really going to see a good reduction in recoil? The gun is light and short and I think it would be a good woods gun. My standard is 40 yards, so I don't need to worry about 60 yard shots.
