Wrenchman,
I definitely didn't take offense at your post. Just wanted to clear it up. Using the same mass/weight pellets in a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge at the same velocity, will give you the same amount of penetration. Each INDIVIDUAL pellet is carrying the same amount of energy, irregardless of whether it came out of a 10, 12, 16, 20, 28 or .410. Now, the larger gauges carry more power because they have more of these INDIVIDUAL pellets. So, everything being equal, a single pellet from a 10 gauge will penetrate just as far as a single pellet from a .410. This applies to buckshot and bird shot, from #00 to #12 shot.
