decide if you are using the rifled barrel or the smoothbore.
The rifled barrels will allow use of the sabotted rounds THAT appear to give a reasonable increase in range and accuracy.
Smoothbore will require the use of the Brenneke and foster style slug that can get to 100 yds and give good accuracy.
HOWEVER, the key for both if PRACTICE and that means starting NOW, not the week prior the opener.
I have used both 12 and 20, I prefer the 12 using the BRenneke as I am a Middle age man, when older I will switch to the 20 for less recoil.
I use Win97, Moss500 * IthacaM37 with an Weaver 1.5x scope.
