The problem is that many folks grab the cheapest shotshells they can find, and they are usually field loads. Find some Winchester Super Target 1 ounce loads at 1180 feet per second. They'll break anything on the clays field and won't beat you up.
Or shoot 20 gauge target loads, I do and am competitive at the A class level in sporting.
Savage 350 pump with 18” barrel. My practice is basically for muscle memory and familiarity. A home defense weapon.
I use other rifles for the pleasure and zen of target practice.
