Why do so many poo poo the 20 and the .410? These are great for home defense and small upland bird's...ever hit a quail with a 12 guage? Not much left! These will alway's be welcome in my gun safe. Dean in az PS RW: Thx for the references,gotta get you more pepper's!
Right now, local Wally World has 20 gauge buckshot for Remington yellow / green 5 round box $3.17, and (iirc) $4.19 for slugs.
I began buying a little bit of extra for these, figuring they might be good trading stock. A lot of folks have 'dove guns', but no self defense loads. If nothing else, be something to hand to valued friends, neighbors or family for defending their lives.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.
Preppin' Tips - Recipes
Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.

No problem Dean! They are great guns and I was lucky to come across a good deal on this 20 gauge.
Thanks.

Looks a lot like the gun that rides in truck during bird season. Always been a big fan of the 20.

Yep! Get mine at Wally World also...fairly inexpensive when compared with .410 rounds.
Plan on doing a post with slugs also...make a decent self-defense round for my 20 gauge.
Thanks anon!

It's going to be a good dove gun also. Did a lot of dove hunting in my younger days...need to get back into it real soon.
Thanks.
