20G - is buckshot non-existant?

[CUTBAIT]

#4 turkey load has been proven to work better than buckshot. By surgeons from what ive. Read, then backed up by "experts"

Low brass birdshot will suffice for home defense.

This is what we call a myth. There are documented shootings with birdshot with not enough penetration to even penetrate the shooting victims coat.

 

[whiskerz]

Turkey loads or #3 as someone mentioned. #3 buckshot in 20 gauge does show available online form Basspro.

Basspro ain’t got no buckshot and inside a house birdshot is aplenty.

went a pawnshop last yr near Cumming, they were going out of business and had 29 gage #3 Buck, boxes of 25, and I managed to get 20 boxes for $3 each, woohoo, shoots good nuff for HD use,

If I couldn`t find buckshot, I would use turkey loads.

dump out the birdshot and fil em with small fishing sinkers or pellets,

 

[cmshoot]

Leave the birdshot for birds. Use buckshot or slugs.

is 20G primarily a birdgun? I'm looking for buckshot and am having very little success.

Any kind of buckshot is hard to find and way overpriced right now. Number 4 Lead bird shot will do nicely for home defense.
