2fg or 3fg For 20 ga Smoothbores

[Tony N]

I use 2F on everything over .50

Thanks Tony, Does the 2fg create extra fowling? Thanks, Jerry

Jerry, I haven’t noticed any extra fouling with 2F

I should also note, that in the smaller bores, that extra 10gr. of 2F over the 3F load did not produce an noticeable extra fouling over the 3f load, even though it was burning more powder.

I use 2F in my 20 ga smoothbores

Thanks, I have some good ideas thanks to all that have given their loads. Back to the range. Should have some results soon. Thanks, Jerry

At one point I used whatever granulation was available.  But for a long time now I've used 3F far more than I've used 2F.  I found 3F works great in everything including the 20 ga smoothbore.  When it's 2F in the bore I can't tell any difference in accuracy or fouling from the use of 3F.

I use 3f in everything. Since I use Swiss, 3f gives less fouling with a lower powder charge level. I use it in my 69cal as well. It's essentially a 14ga shotgun.
