If you use a 20 ga I would use # 6 shot .I would rather have a full choke over a modified but thats just me.

Mr. 16 gauge

Your 20 gauge should do fine on preserve pheasants....just remember not to stretch your shots like you might be tempted to do with a 12 gauge and you should do fine. As for loads, I would recommend that you go with at least 1 oz of #5 shot (#6 would be my second choice). I would also not scrimp on a few bucks for a box of shells, and would buy premium ammo with copper or nickle plated shot. You will get better patterns by using these shells. Good luck and good hunting; let us know how you did!

Thats all I use. I have a little SXS 20ga, Im partial to #5s myself. I like Rem Express long range. Ive knocked some down at 60 yards with this load.

i have been using a twenty guage to hunt pheasant for about twenty years.

jkhunter

no problem. I use a ruger o/u with mod/full as chokes with 7 1/2 shot 3in shells. You can let them go alittle before your shot. Good Luck John

keep'em in your sights

I shoot state raised birds around here. You could kill them with a .410 if you wanted.

...a 20 gauge is good enough to hunt deer with. i'd say you could get pheasants with it
