What to know about 20 gauge buckshot

20 gauge buckshot typically uses #2 or #3 buck rather than the 00 buck standard in 12 gauge. The 20 gauge delivers fewer pellets at similar velocities but with 40—50% less felt recoil — a meaningful advantage for home defense, especially for recoil-sensitive shooters.
