What is cheaper 12 ga or 20 ga shotgun shells?

And what is best for skeet shooting?

What is cheaper 12 ga or 20 ga shotgun shells?
About the same price. 12ga Promo loads can usually be found slightly cheaper at the Big Mart stores.



Either one is fine for skeet. You can shoot light loads out of a 12ga so the recoil will not cause fatigue after a lot of rounds. Even though you can shoot a lighter load of shot out of a 20ga, the shotgun will usually be lighter, so the recoil will be about equal. Go with what you like. A 20 gauge will be more slim than a 12 ga so you might like the lines of the gun better.



As for shell use a light target load with #9 shot for skeet. If you shoot trap, use #8 as the clays will be farther away, and the larger pellets will have more momentum at long range.
Reply:They are about the same price but some addvice if you see slugs or shot shell for sale not during the hunting season buy them because alot of places go up on slugs and even run out of them around deer season
Reply:where I live (Central Ontario) 12 gauge shells are cheaper, but not by much.
Reply:Both are the same in price.* 12 gauge is best for skeet or Trap, using AA Brand in 71/2 or 8 shot size shells.*
Reply:20 guage 100 rds. for $17,00
Reply:About the same.
Reply:they are about the same price if you buy them at the store, but if you reload, 20 guage is cheaper
Reply:Same price shells, I use a 20 for clay just so I don't feel the recoil as much and my shoulder don't tire as fast.
