Is 20 gauge the new .410?

Gun shows usually have a plethora of 20 gauge ammo along with over inflated prices on .410 ammo.
.410 ammo not as abundant as the 20 gauge, but it can be had.
Since the 1980's 12 gauge had been a staple on the shelves at Steveston Hardware, Crappy Tire, Brighouse Hardware.
Those stores would have a few flats of 20 available in the late summer for the upcoming Waterfowl and pheasant season.
The War in the middle east played a part in the shortages as did the last three presidential elections imo.

What I was looking for was 20 gauge target ammunition for a session with some new shooters. I did finally find some but most places I tried were sold out. I've never had a problem finding it before and was also shocked at the price of the hunting loads.

Lots of 410 and 20 gauge in Saskatchewan ...
