The 20 gauge shotgun shell strikes the perfect balance between power and control, making it a top choice for hunters, sport shooters, and anyone seeking a lighter alternative to the 12 gauge. First developed in the 19th century, 20 gauge ammo has grown in popularity thanks to its low recoil, lightweight handling, and surprisingly effective performance across a range of applications.
Offered in standard shell lengths like 2.75" and 3", 20 gauge shotgun shells deliver plenty of stopping power while being easier on the shoulder—especially important for younger shooters or those seeking faster follow-up shots. From #8 or #7.5 shot sizes ideal for upland birds and clays, to heavier #3 buckshot and slugs for self-defense or deer hunting, 20 gauge offers excellent versatility without the bulk of larger shells.
Whether you're heading to the field or stocking up for home protection, our wide selection of 20 gauge shotgun ammo is in stock and ready to ship. Load up with confidence and enjoy the balance of precision and power the 20 gauge delivers.
