Title: Mossberg sa-20 with longbeard xr?
Post by: Kygobblergetter on February 06, 2026, 01:27:02 PM
Has anybody set one up with longbeards? Or any other lead load for that matter. I load my own tss but I want to mess around with some lead loads for hunting around home. Is it realistic to expect a 40 yard pattern out of the 20 with lead?

40 is possible with some guns/chokes.

35 is a given .

In between 35 and 40 is the most likely outcome but there's little margin of error if you misjudge range with lead in a 20.

I'd be ecstatic to get to 40 with it. It's just to play around with at home. Last year I killed my second bird with a full choke and low brass 8 shot
