The shop that told ya that was blowin smoke up ya butt. 20 ga buck sells so poorly that they really don't stock the stuff. I am surprised that the ammo makers still make any... but if they quit the people that never use it would come out of the woodworks complaining. As it is now Federal makes 2 basic 20 ga buckshot loads. A #2 and a #3 loade in 2 3/4 nd 3 inch. 15 yrs ago they had 9 different loads. If it sold that good they would still be makin all of it. In point of fact the only place i have seen any amount of it for sale was in the Delaware Wally worlds. Delaware still allows the use of buck on deer. Although you haven't had an issue with the 20 ga buckshot...I wish ya would use a 12...if you just have to use buckshot. The 20 ga is just so woefully inadequate for the job except when in the hands of either an excellent shot or one who has the patience to get the "perfect shot"....mainly because of the fact it has so few pellets and they are small #2 or 3 buck. 00 and 000 does seem to kill pretty well though especially in the 10 ga

Now as far as the *^%$#@# trade unions...yep that is best served by another post or another day.
