[night owl]

20g is far more versatile. I had both and kept the 20. Anything you can shoot with a normal 12 can be got with this without having ridiculously tight patterns to try and make it stretch further

which one did you have ? was it the single barrel or mossberg pump ? and how did the noise compare to the 410 huspower

cheers

The O/U hushpower is worth a look too . . . . http://www.saddleryandgunroom.co.uk/Gunroom/SG_Hushpower.htm

 

Gamebore make a subsonic 20b game load called ''hushpower'' 30g 5s, which work very well too

I have both the single and the o/u, both are very quiet especially if shot into the air rather than a solid object like a wood where the sound can bounce back a little.

 

.410s are okay for a bit of mooching but for decoying or any serious shooting the 20g wins hands down, and you can get loads from 21gram up to 30gram for it which pretty much covers everything I might want to kill.
