20GA Buckshot

[Esvagt]

Anyone seen any 20Ga buckshot online lately? Haven’t had any luck with my usual vendors.

I loaded 250 rds for a buddy #3 buck.

You might want to look at far away vendors online. Good luck.

Have you checked your Canadian tire. Of all places I ended up finding buckshot and slugs.
Also RIO shotgun shells are now coming in so your local gun store can order them in. I bought a few cases and they are pretty decent.

Any of the online guys carrying the RIO shells that you know of?

What do you guys that can find 20 ga. buckshot use it for?

B.C. has a reg that only #1 or larger can be used for hunting, and it is impossible to find anywhere. All vendors here have #4 buck

I have small 20Ga that I use for wildlife protection when I’m in the deep woods.

I hope you have stocked slugs as well ... #3 buckshot on a bear .... hmmmmmmmm ....

A black bear shot in the face with birdshot at 20ft will be missing half it's head.

And shot at 30 feet with birdshot he will be just pissed and angry .....

I carry both, mostly just as a last resort as I also have bear spray. In my personal experience though a warning shot into the air is enough to make most black bears bolt and not look back.

Cabelas had both Winchester #3 and Federal copper plated #2 buckshot last time I was there
Both 3” shells so be prepared for quite a kick in a little gun
