I’ve a Mossberg 410 bore shotgun, Remington 12 and 20 gauges all pump action. Even own a vintage Iver breech loading 16 gauge.
Never owned an auto-loader. Am I safe in assuming that the main advantage of the auto loader is it allows you to get more lead on target quicker?
How does pump action compare to auto when shooting clay?
Not many will shoot a pump on doubles anymore. In days past, most started out with a pump, so were proficient with it. The semi auto also has less recoil, which is a big deal if you’re shooting 3-500 per day.
When I see “Auto Loader”, I think “Home Defense”.
