hd shotgun. 20 ga. vs 12 ga.??

advantage/disadvantage of each?

This depends on you.

A person thats 5'5" and 130 might want to use a 20 ga...if your 6'6" 265 maybe a 12 ga.

I have a 16 ga double 20" barrel open chocks....easy to handle, one handed if need be, gets the job done.

Don't recommend slugs for HD...

20 ga won't kick as much as 12 ga because 12 ga will hold more powder and send projectiles down range faster producing more recoil.

SHR970----summed it up better then I.

I recently picked up an old single shot 20 gauge for some one for a house gun. One disadvantage is all the cheap 00 buck is on back order. Two years ago it was every where.
 
I think the company name was "Rio" out of Argentina or Brazil. 25 round boxes. There was some Spanish stuff around also, but I do not recall the name.
 
Except the propogation of bad information...00Buck in a 20 gauge. Doesn't fit in proper stacks. It is actually closest to #1 Buck which can fit 2 to a layer in a 20 gauge.

And Euro sizes depend on which country it comes from; Rio is Spanish. Bird shot or buck shot, size according to the chart is source dependant. You dont't get a stack of .33 / .34 shot in a layer in a .615 diameter shell.
