History of 20 Gauge Shotgun Shells

The 20 gauge began life as a muzzleloader with a 0.615-inch diameter bore before evolving into being packaged in paper cartridges and eventually in today's familiar yellow plastic hulls. The choice of yellow as the color for 20 gauge shells was intentional, as it draws the attention of shooters—who use various shotgun gauges—to ensure they don't accidentally load a 20 gauge shell in the wrong gun, which would ruin their shotgun and possibly harm the shooter.

Commonly employed to hunt birds and small game, as well as that ever-elusive clay pigeon, hunters, and competitors, indicate that the number-one reason for using the 20 gauge (as opposed to the more powerful 12 and 16 gauges) is recoil. The recoil of the 20 gauge is described by many shooters as about 50 percent of a 12 gauge when fired out of a shotgun of the same type. The 20 gauge enjoys another advantage in that the gun can be lighter than the large shotguns without worrying about increased recoil. 20 gauge shotguns can be lighter than a 12 gauge shotgun by one, two, or several pounds.
