What to know about 20 gauge birdshot

20 gauge birdshot in 1 oz payloads handles dove, quail, and pheasant effectively inside 35—40 yards. 3" magnum loads push payload to 1¼ oz — close to standard 12 gauge levels. For waterfowl, non-toxic steel or bismuth loads are required and cost significantly more.

Frequently asked questions

How does 20 gauge birdshot compare for clay shooting?
A 20 gauge target load has a lighter payload and less felt recoil than a typical 12 gauge target load. Competitive shooters sometimes use it to reduce cumulative recoil during long tournament days.
How is 20 gauge birdshot priced?
20 gauge target loads typically cost slightly more per shell than 12 gauge due to lower production volume. Federal Top Gun and Winchester Super Target are common economy options. Current observed 20 gauge prices are in the 30-day price summary at the top of this page.
What shot size for 20 gauge dove hunting?
#7.5 and #8 shot are standard for dove in 20 gauge. The 7/8 oz payload is lighter than 12 gauge 1-1/8 oz loads, so pattern density is reduced at longer ranges. Most effective inside 30 yards for dove.
