20 Gauge Ammo Prices

The 12's lighter sibling, and a genuinely useful and enjoyable shell. Upland hunters and clays shooters pick it for the weight and handling. It's a great intro to shotguns for learning shooters with its lower recoil and often lighter guns.

Modern loads have markedly improved 20 Gauge's usefulness over the years. Birdshot, buckshot and slugs all exist, though the buckshot shelf runs thin next to the 12's.

Prices sit near 12 Gauge with fewer promotional deep-discounts. The 100 and 250-pack bargain finds mostly belong to the 12. You definitely get a lot more for your dollar with 12 Gauge but the fun-factor and usability of the 20 outweigh this for many very satisfied 20 Gauge owners.
