20 Gauge Shotgun Shells 

A 20 gauge shotgun is a popular choice for both hunting and shooting sports due to its versatility and moderate recoil. The 20 gauge is a smaller caliber than the more common 12 gauge, making it a good choice for shooters who may find the 12 gauge too powerful or cumbersome.

One of the main considerations when selecting 20 gauge shotgun shells is the type of payload. The most common payloads are birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. Birdshot is a good choice for small game and bird hunting, as the small pellets are effective at taking down birds without causing excessive damage to the meat. Buckshot is a better choice for larger game, as the larger pellets are more effective at stopping power. Slugs are a good choice for long-range shooting or for taking down larger game, as they are a single, solid projectile rather than a spread of smaller pellets.

Another important factor to consider when selecting 20 gauge shotgun shells is the load size, which is measured in drams equivalent (de). The de determines the amount of powder in the shell, which in turn determines the velocity and energy of the shot. Hotter loads will typically have more recoil, but may also be more effective at longer ranges or for taking down larger game.
