Now it’s time to see what works best. Good thing for YouTube cause they pretty much narrowed it down for me. Planning on the LB #6 from all reviews but I’ll try the other two and confirm for myself.

Wonder why the #6, 1 1/4 oz is 185 fps slower than the #5, 1 1/4 oz of shot?

Ok, I may understand. #5 shot leaves more room for buffer than #6. But, they both weigh 1 1/4 oz. Isn't that the determining factor in speed?

Different wad, buffer and powder blends.

I’m no engineer in making bullets that’s my guess why.

Looked at a Beretta A300 turkey gun today and really like how it felt. I was looking for a stoeger M3020 but no one had any in stock local. 
Does anyone have any input on the A300 in 20ga?

Little more than I want to spend but it really felt nice all around. 

I switched over to a Remington 870 Youth model and am glad I did the older I get the more I appreciate a lighter gun for making those long walks. I am a die hard Remington Fan and got to say they are not pretty but they are work horses and can be dissembled and reassembled by any dummy.

I have an 1187 premier from early 90s or late 80s and just bought a Remington sportsman 58 in 16 guage fromm 1958 gun is awsome.  I will not buy bew Remington firearms

They’re different loads.  The size 6 shot load is the Longbeard load.  In the longbeard load the shot is suspended in a hard resin which breaks apart when fired.  I’m guessing the additional weight of that resin causes the decrease in velocity.
