Remember, with 7/8 oz loads a 12ga is balistically the same as a 20ga.
With 1 oz loads a 12 ga is the same as a 16ga ....
and you can even load a 12ga down to 3/4 oz / and with loads down to 1150 fps - and the extra weight of a 12ga gun usually - the 12ga is a very soft recoil option. That's why the 12ga is the most versatile option.
