Reloading 20 ga Buckshot! Using Larger Pellets. 

I remember a few years ago a member of our club asked me if I could take his 13 year old daughter hunting,he had terminal cancer and his daughter had been wanting to go hunting,I said yes and I let her use my son's Mossberg 20 ga after a half day of seeing nothing I stopped by a clear cut for lunch and waiting for the dogs to come back out, and as we sat there I spotted a deer about 100 yards out bedding down,I got her gun ready and she finally spotted it I honestly thought no way in the world this deer was in any danger but she was going to get a chance to at least shoot at one first round you could see the pellets splash down at about 50 yards,I said aim about 10 ft above him and boom the deer started flopping and I finished it off 1 pellet hit him in the spine,it was just a 7" spike but to her it was Boone and Crockett to me it was holy cow how did that happen

Thank you for putting the time in to get this information out to us new reloaders. Thank you sir 🤠

Your reloading videos are the best out there! Watching you early morn before going to put up 3 ladder stands around the beaver swamp!

Dang Bubba I love this video it is so informative to me I think you got a good load their those 29 cal buck shot are perfect for that 20 ga load .

Nice work Mr Wade, my son has been after me to load him some for his 20! He's as big a fan as I of the B.R.O. crew! God bless

I hear ya with that heat! I'm a type 1 diabetic myself & after years of nerve damage, the summer months hurt like u wouldn't believe. I'm not too far from y'all, here in Aiken Co & this heats been terrible. The woods are thicker than ever w/the hot rainy weather. It ant slowed these coyotes down a bit though, they're tearin it up over here. Almost everything I'm loading lately is a "coyote special". I'm gonna have a busy winter... 👍 Thanks for the video, stay safe & hydrated B.R.O.

Just ordered a 31 cal mold from martys arms Thanks B.R.O.

I've been wondering how the reloaded buckshot would do in my 20 ... And how to reload for the 20 gauge for my wife . Thank you for the information on shot and powder and as always Mr Wade . Thank you , and God Bless .

With the new Fiocchi hulls I have with the OB20, 10mm wax wad trimmed and Ballistic products nickel plated #1 buck. They stacked in the hull by 3’s nicely. Most of the shot is .290-.295 so instead of doing 14 pellets I loaded up some 15 pellet.

I load lead f shot (.22) in my 20 gauge, use it on coyotes and bobcats. Don't have a chronograph so can't say what the fps is, but get a tight pattern out to 40 to 50 yards. Using federal hulls, flight control cup, & blue dot. It would be interesting to see the speed and pattern you get in that 3020.

"only reason I use em', is they help me um see." Can't wait to see those loads smack some deer in a drive this year!

Wade I enjoy what you do and am a new reloader out of necessity. Finding components is difficult right now and would like to see some formulas for 2 3/4 20ga as I am having difficulty finding 3” hulls Thank you

That Rio #1 buck with 9 pellets at 1345fps is nasty!!!

with the larger buckshot sizes outta the 20ga, I would suggest trying modified or even improved cylinder choke for tighter groups. Less pellet deformation. Very informative video

Awesome awesome video because I just got my Smith & Wesson model 1000 Semi automatic 20 gauge shotgun fixed

Good work guys.

Why and how could someone dislike any video from the B.R.O?

Awesome video Cuz. I used to deer hunt a lot with a Shotgun back home in North Carolina running dogs and stand hunting. But now living in Louisiana I’m pretty much a Rifle Hunter. But my question is, is it the buffer that helps to get a better pattern. Or is it a combination of Powder, Primers, Pellets Size etc... a lot like Handloading for Rifles / Pistols.

Very informative, again. Is it possible to get a 40 yard deer load in a 2 and 3/4 inch 20? Thanks....

Learnt a lot.From South Africa.

Very beautiful round

You ever do any of these with longshot? I have an 18gr load with a WAA20 wad I use for #4 buck. I'd like to think around 18gr with a nitro card or plastic gas seal with fiber cushion should work with about an ounce of lead.

Wade, have you tried .32 caliber #0 buck? I only have 2 sizes, .240 and .320. Thanks for a great series on buck loading!

Take care brother.

Excellent...! 10 gauge Next PLease! Thanks for the video...

Liked your 20 ga. " Heavy Hitters" .29, 30, & 31 cal buck loads. Have you found a 16 gauge shotgun yet to run tests on 16 ga. #4, #1, # 0,& #00 Heavy Hitter loads ??? Can't wait to see your results !

My sons Tristar 20 likes the #1 Rio 2 3/4” 9 pellet load with improved cylinder choke

If I use 2 3/4 hulls can I leave out the fiber wad and just use the ob20 gas seal. Is it ok to use the ob20 gas seal only.

Out of any shotgun gauge, 20 gauge is the best unless you are in military or police. 20 gauge is the best for slinging slugs and and most sizes of Buckshot.

Great video...

What does BP NP buckshot do for you as opposed to lead?

Thank you!

Sir, I think I've watched all of your Buckshot videos, and some twice. I would love to get into reloading and I'm wondering what you would recommend for my first "loader", maybe a Lee Load All ?? Any advice would be appreciated, I've ordered from ballistic products several times and love their site, but don't really know what I should buy first. I've learned a lot from your channel. Now I just need to get the right tool. I believe I can take it from there with all of the videos you've got out. Thank you, Robby

I just wanted to let you know if you were not aware of precisionreloading.com has shot buffer for half the price of BPI original. I bought a 10 lb bag for $60.00.

Have you ever put wax on the crimp end of your reloads. I have a friend that does this to make sure his powder does not get wetwhile hunting in the rain

thank you I learned alot

Have you ever tried red dot ?

Is your 31 caliber mold a Lee .311 diameter? If not, do you think round balls cast from the .311 lee would double stack or be slightly too big? Respectfully.

Hey Wade just got a superblack eagle 3. What choke and buckshot shell do you recommend?

Why have my shells I made last year opened up now? And do cardboard OS cards swell?

Hello! I am looking to find a load book with data for larger buckshot in 20 gauge. I’m new to reloading shot shells so any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hey bubba roundtree would that load work in a cheditte shell

would really like to see #000 buck in 20 gauge or .410

Bubba waiting on a updated 270 win reloading vid,

Hello Dr Bubba would you have any 12 guage and 20 gauge shells for sale.

Have you gotten a cement mixer yet lol, have you tried out the shot?

Appreciate you putting the loads up. I'm just wondering have you ever tried the larger TSS shot like #2 in the 20G? I'm hearing reports it will go straight through a whitetail at 70 yards. I just ordered 6lbs from China in the #7 to test on foxes but I'd be keen to see how the larger shot performs on deer. By law I can only use slugs on deer down here.

What is the appropriate buckshot loading for a 8 gauge punt gun LOL

I love that 0 buck!!!

Get ya 8 to 10 lbs of .29 cal to ya Wade when I get back home Sept an a bag of those white lightning tps 3 inch wads.

Finally some bigger buck shot in 20 i can only fine 3 and 4 buck in 20 nothing bigger lol

Another good video! Does he sell the .29 cal molds?

Will u load me some of that 0 buck?

I hope my daughter is still getting out with me when shes older like yours is! I wonder, you have any info on these exact loads with HOGDGON Longshot powder? I have all the same components, minus the blue dot or imr blue. What would be a safe starting point for these same loads using Longshot? I'm moving into round ball and minie balls in my 20 guage next. Very informative and thorough video without being long winded. Great overall. I'm subscribed! I'd love to see you do a round ball 20 guage vid! I've seen some decently accurate and absolutely DEVASTATING "pumpkin ball" loads in my day! None in 20 guage though... yet! After I get a good roundball, I'm going buck and ball! Thanks for the info and take care of yourself! Jim Brown @bonezcustoms on IG
