20 Gauge Ammo

The 20 gauge shotgun is a favorite of many shooters due its excellent handling and (in guns of similar weight) much lower felt recoil compared to the 12 gauge. 20 gauge ammo shotgun can be used for everything from hunting and trap shooting to self-defense. 20 gauge shotshells have a distinctive yellow hull to help prevent accidental (and dangerous) loading of shells into the wrong size shotgun.

A 20 gauge shotshell typically fires an ounce (give or take 1/8 oz.) of shot at 1,200 feet per second, with steel waterfowl loads typically moving faster. Buckshot loads in 20ga are typically for self-defense, though they may be used for hunting as well. Slugs make the 20 gauge a viable deer gun at 100 yards and beyond, while birdshot is used for target shooting and, of course, birds.

Some 20 gauge loads (particularly waterfowl ones) come in a 3" hull length that packs more shot or propellant into the shell; this produces more recoil, but allows the 20ga to close the power gap with its larger cousins without the need for another shotgun when needed.

At Widener's, you'll find cheap 20 gauge ammo for sale from the biggest names in ammo. Look for Federal, Fiocchi, Winchester and more in-stock at very competitive prices.

    These high-brass buckshot loads are a great choice for coyotes, close-range deer, and two-legged predators. Each 20 gauge shell has an extended hull length of 2-3/4 inches which is a standard for fit in the most common shotguns. The moisture-resistant hull contains a load of #3 buckshot which is great for terminal effect with multiple projectiles. A measure of buffering material helps the pellets stay perfectly round for better flight characteristics, deeper penetration, and tighter patterns at long range. Winchester's one-piece hinged wad performs the same duty while also reducing felt recoil and expanding at the rear to capture propellant gases.

    Winchester uses their own blend of powder for high-velocity performance that doesn't steal away accessibility from the 20 gauge cartridge. The powder is ignited by a spark from a non-corrosive 209 primer which is dependable throughout a wide temperature variance. This 250-round bulk case will afford you plenty of ammo for periodic practice and long-term storage. Winchester is an American brand with household recognition. During the past century and a half, they've created calibers and firearms that influenced the entire industry and bring that level of innovation and professionalism to every product that they make.

    When you buy a box of shotshells with the Winchester name on them, you're likely to be putting your trust in the same ammo that your grandparents used to load up with. These 20 gauge rounds contain 20 pellets of #3 buckshot and are a prime choice for close range deer hunting as well as defense from being hunted in your own home. The shot pellets rest among polymer buffering media which cushions and protects them against deformation during barrel travel; this helps to maintain rounder shapes which result in tighter patterns and more effective terminal ballistics. A one-piece hinged wad below the shot column reduces felt recoil to follow-up shots and sight bead reacquisition a simple affair.

    The arrangement is contained within a 2-3/4 inch hull which is crimped and burned at the head for maximum moisture resistance. Winchester attaches the universally sized hull to a high-brass head which houses a potent measure of clean-burning powder that has been engineered to leave behind as little residue as possible. Winchester's own 209 primer, which is lauded by home reloaders for its reliability, ignites the cartridge. Winchester has over 150 years of manufacturing experience and uses real-world feedback from hunters, police officers, and competitors to refine their ammunition.
