20 Guage

[CDDM416]

a friend of mine gave me a Rem 870 20gauge, ive never dealt with 20g and was wondering what would be a good shell for it, im thinking of useing it for a truck gun since it already has the barrel cut to 18".

give me some ideas, thanks.

I recommend that you try an assortment of the 18-pellet, #2 buckshot offerings from Federal and Remington. Figure out which load patterns the best and has the most manageable recoil in your shotgun. Same with slugs.

Thanks, that is pretty much the way i was leaning. i dont think im going to dick around with the slugs, i know it sounds petty, but them slugs aint cheap..

I think that this is what our good friend John Farnam recommended. It patterns very well, but in a 20 kicks like a 12. It would be my first choice.
