About 16 Gauge Ammunition

The 20 gauge is a popular mid-sized shotgun gauge known for its balance of power and reduced recoil compared to larger gauges. Introduced in the early 20th century, the 20 gauge provides excellent performance while being more manageable for smaller-framed shooters and youth. The 20 gauge is highly regarded for upland hunting and recreational shooting due to its moderate recoil, good ballistic performance, and effectiveness on small to medium game birds.

Types of 20 Gauge Loadings

  • Birdshot: These loadings feature multiple small projectiles. These types of loadings are well-suited for bird hunting, pest control, casual clay shooting, and recreational shooting. These loadings tend to be some of the most common loadings one will find on the market.
  • Buckshot:These loadings feature multiple large projectiles. These projectiles are considerably larger than the projectiles found in birdshot and target loadings. There are also some buckshot loadings which feature more projectiles and utilize smaller projectiles. These types of loadings are well-suited for hunting use and for self-defense.
  • Slugs:These types of loadings feature single, solid projectiles rather than multiple projectiles. As these loadings feature solid projectiles, one does not have to consider a potential pattern or spread of multiple projectiles. Slugs are often found in the form of rifled and sabot loadings. Rifled slugs are intended for use in smoothbore barrels while sabot slugs are intended for use in rifled barrels. Ultimately, slugs allow a user to extend the effective range of their shotgun.
