Frequently Asked Questions
Is #2 Buckshot effective for deer hunting with a 20 gauge?
Yes. #2 Buckshot offers an excellent balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it a capable deer and hog load at ethical shotgun ranges — typically inside 40 yards. The 18-pellet payload increases the probability of multiple vital-zone hits, and the Triple Plus wad and granulated buffer help maintain tight patterns to maximize effective range.
How does Federal's Triple Plus wad system improve performance?
The Triple Plus wad is designed to properly align and cushion the shot column as it travels down the barrel, reducing pellet deformation on setback. Combined with the granulated plastic buffer that fills the voids between pellets, the result is rounder, more uniform pellets exiting the muzzle — which translates directly into tighter, more consistent patterns at distance.
Can I use these shells in any 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 3-inch shells?
Yes, provided your shotgun is rated for 3-inch (76mm) shells. Always verify your firearm's chamber length in the owner's manual before use — a gun marked for 2¾-inch shells should not be used with 3-inch ammunition. Most modern 20 gauge pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns are chambered for 3-inch shells and will cycle these rounds reliably.
