I've become a real fan of the 12 gage, enough to be set up to load my own shotshells and have a bit of a collection. Started shooting Trap in 2018 and since then I've picked up 2 pumps, 1 semi, 2 O/U, and 1 SxS. My favorite load is a 1 ounce 2 3/4 dram load of # 7.5 shot, right now have about 1200 of these hand loads boxed and ready for a trip to the range. BTW, between Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays I can have weekends where I'll go thru 150 or even 200 shells, so 1200 is really just a month or two supply.

PS; my House Gun is a Remington 870 Field and Home kit. So, it's loaded with 5 rounds of #1 buck sitting handy with it's 18.5 inch barrel. Seems way short compared to my 30 inch sporting shotguns but I've shot Trap with it using the 28 inch barrel and function is 100% perfect. It's also a very good Trap gun with a wonderful sight picture.
