My wife has a o/u 20 ga and works well on geese with 3” hevi shot. Shooting clays with the 20 ga seems to be just as good as the 12.
I have used a 20 as my main smokeless bird gun for almost 20 years and totally agree
I have killed ducks and big Canada’s cleanly with 1 Oz and 1 1/8 loads from Federal, Kent and others in both 3” and 2 3/4”
I still use it even though I have been able to go back to the big guns in the last few years
