    Have not seen any of them yet. We have been talking 2 32/4 Dram shells all year.

    I was bored so I surfed around a little.
    Fiocchi shows a 20 Ga. 1 oz. 1,220 FPS shell

    It is 2-3/4 INCHES, it doesn't show any DRAM measurement. At least not on the Sportsmens Guide site I looked at. This is the description for that shell

    Gauge: 20

    Shell Length (inches): 2 3/4

    Shot Weight (ozs.): 1

    Muzzle Velocity (F.P.S.): 1,220

    Shot Size: 5, 6, 7.5, 8, 9

    I was bored, but not bored enough to look anywhere else.

    want your eyes opened? run a factory AA .410 over the chronograph. Not know what they are now but 30 years ago were about 1350 if i remember right. Brought some Orbea(?) shells home from Argentina in 1984 and they were about 1450 if i remember right. Real butt kickers but sure would turn ducks inside out.

    I read this again because it moved back to the top and something I missed the first time around jumped out at me.

    "Information is for the American Trapshooter Championship shoot."

    Just asking
    ​

    What would 20 Ga. shells have to do with that shoot? Does someone plan on using a 20 instead of their everyday 12 Ga.?

    I know, 1 ounce is 1 ounce, but after shooting almost all your targets with your trusty 12 ga. smoke pole wouldn't it be kind of counter productive to pick up a 20ga. for a money shoot? I guess if you had a 20ga. tube that fit your Trap gun you could go that route but man that would be ballsy.
