Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm up in the  air about wether I want the 20 or 12.  Looks like the 20 has a better rate for these newer and lighter weight bullets.

Yep that's one tough choice ..... a 12 or a 20 ga USH.

Been down that path before and I don't envy you for a minute.
Drove myself absoulutely crazy.

In the end, I was fortunate to be able to do like Scibaer said....buy both.....the 12 for me and the 20 for my son.

Personally I still like the fit and feel of the 12.  One day that might change.

They're both fine shooting guns and buying either one won't be a mistake.
