Wow. I must admit I have never fired a 12-gauge (though I have a brand new one in my gun cabinet). I’ve always been a pistol guy / AR guy.
You pros out there, does the load make a difference?
I was only able to get mostly 3 inch 7.5 and 8 for my gun. Hope to get some 4 or better one of these days. Might have a few boxes of 2.5. TIA
Yes, if you are talking 12 gauge loads.
It mostly depends on range. Out to 15 feet, it does not make much difference.
Beyond that it makes a lot of difference.
