Overview of 20 Gauge Shotgun Shells

Commonly employed to hunt birds, small game and to chase that ever-elusive clay pigeon. Shooters and competitors say the number-one reason to pick a 20 gauge over the heavier 12-gauge or 16-gauge is recoil. Many describe 20-gauge recoil as roughly half that of a 12 gauge when fired from comparable shotguns, which makes the gun easier to swing and shoot all day. Because of the lighter felt recoil, 20-gauge shotguns can also be built several pounds lighter than a 12 gauge without becoming uncomfortable to shoot. For close-range turkey work, the right 20-gauge turkey loads give you the pattern density and terminal performance you need, and if you want a quick buying guide, see our best 20 gauge ammo picks or best turkey loads to find in-stock loads we recommend.
