Bulk 20ga Ammo
20 Gauge Ammo
20 gauge ammo is available in many varieties to suit the many uses for a 20ga shotgun. However, all 20ga ammo shares one distinctive feature: a bright yellow hull that serves as a visual aid to prevent loading of 20 gauge shells into shotguns of other types. Many shooters prefer 20 gauge shotguns for their relatively light recoil and ease of handling.[Read More]

20 Gauge Ballistics
20ga ammunition typically fires 7/8 or 1 oz. of shot at a muzzle velocity of between 1,200 and 1,350 feet per second. As with the 12 gauge, defensive loads are usually loaded somewhat light to produce a balance of reasonable recoil and stopping power with enough penetration to defeat an assailant without causing undue risk to bystanders or property. These loads can be fired relatively quickly in emergencies without becoming uncontrollable. In contrast, hunting loads tend to emphasize the power of each shot, using more powerful powder charges to enhance effective range and terminal performance against deer and other game at the cost of greater recoil. 20 gauge slugs typically weigh 5/8 or 3/4 of an ounce and can be used effectively at ranges far beyond the reach of buckshot.Some 20 gauge shotshells use a 3" length to approximate the power of a 12 gauge shotgun without the need to switch to another weapon. Shotguns capable of firing these loads tend to be somewhat heavier, as a 3" load almost invariably produces more recoil than one fitting into a 2-3/4"" hull. This configuration is especially common for waterfowl loads, which fire steel shot at higher velocities.
The "little brother" to the venerable and timeless 12 gauge, 20 gauge rounds are still among the top tier of calibers here at BulkAmmo.com. Looking for some advice on what to shoot? If you're looking for a deer-hunting or home defense round, we suggest you pick-up some buckshot. These loads feature fairly large pellets inside the shell and are designed to drop a deer or neutralize a threat. Need something for upland bird hunting? Go with a #6, #7 or #8 shot. No matter what you're looking for, it helps to know what other serious shooters are picking up. Here are a few of our best selling cheap 20 gauge loads right now:
