20ga for hunting

[FLHTCUI]

Brobee223 has a bunch of videos on YouTube hunting deer with buckshot and slugs. Very informative. Pretty sure that’s what his channel is called. I think it’s mostly 12 gauge but should give you an idea of what to expect.

He is also a CGN member .....

Slug without a doubt.

In my, admittedly incomplete, testing with the 12 gauge, only a full choke and 000 Buck would be usable at 50 yards. 20-25 was more like it with 00.

Must be relatively recent? I stand corrected. Brenneke slugs are more accurate than Fosters in most cases. #2 buck....27 dia

No worrys. Maybe it's a location thing? Other ppl say they can get #4 buck in 20ga easily and no one local to me has ever seen it. It's all #2 and #3 buck here
The brenneke style slug is a definite yes for slugs. The only thing I've had come close is federal truball. I haven't used the truball on game yet but it groups very well for me

My vote is for the slugs as well ! 20 ga will throw them pretty good out to 50-60 yds !

Paul Harrell's videos on 20 Gauge for Hunting are very instructive.

Slugs, just fine, buck not so much.

Timeless knowledge.
