Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Whats best 12 ga or 20 ga Slug gun?

The 20 is just as effective as the 12 now days. Most of the 20ga sabots are pushing the same velocities as the 12, just with a lighter slug. A 260grn slug in the 1900-2000fps area will be devastating on game. It will be just as effective as using a modern inline MLer with sabots.

Big advantage to the 20 is less recoil. A 12ga is tolerable, but HV slugs recoil much more than a magnum rifle.
