Recoil is a big part of it. After a few boxes of shells that solid
action will start getting to you. If you shoot 100 rounds in an
evening you might really start to appreciate that SA if you are a
small guy or a woman.
I still liked my O/U Daly tho.

Do skeet shooters use light loads? Not many Cowboy Action or 3-gun
shooters use full on 12 gauge.


The typical load is 1 1/8 oz of #9 over 2 3/4 or 3 dram equivalent
powder.
I usually bought the 2 3/4 because my wife's 1100 eat them fine and
they were a little easier on both of us. Some of the guys with
Winchester autos wanted the 3 dram because they thought the gun cycled
better. The M11 Remington or it's Browning brother was OK with the
lighter load. I would get the guy to swap out with some 3 dram cases
if I had an order for them. The price was the same.
