      Buying 20 Gauge Ammunition in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists about 85 20-gauge shotshell loads, and 27 of them can be ordered today. The range covers Fiocchi, Federal, Remington, Winchester, Trust and Eley, with smaller lines from Barnes, Clever, Hornady, SAGA and B&P. The 20 gauge is a lighter-recoiling alternative to the 12 gauge, popular in Australia for quail, duck and rabbits in the field and with younger and lighter-framed shooters on clay targets.

      A NSW dealer may only sell 20-gauge ammunition to someone holding a licence or permit for a firearm of that calibre, so Magnum Sports sights your licence at the counter. Most 20-gauge shotguns are single or double barrel guns and sit in Category A. All ammunition is collection only from the Roseville Chase store and is never posted or couriered; you can order online to have it put aside for pickup.

      Target loads such as Federal Top Gun and Eley CT start at around $22–$29 a box, game loads like Federal Gameshok and Remington Pheasant run about $29–$42, and premium Federal Black Cloud 3-inch steel sits near $74. Slugs start from $15, and 25-box Winchester AA cases run $199–$229.

      For clays, Eley CT, Federal Top Gun or Winchester AA 24 gm loads in 7.5 to 9 shot are the usual choice. For quail and rabbits, Federal Gameshok or Remington Game in 6 or 7.5 shot suit most 20-gauge guns. For ducks where lead is not allowed, look at Federal Speed-Shok steel or Black Cloud, and for pigs or deer at close range the Hornady SST slug or Remington Slugger.
