For individual pellets/projectiles….the difference would be minuscule.Hos wrote:Yeah, I did more research on this and edited my post. Even with buck shot it didn't get that good of a review. Does 12 or 20 gauge penetrate that much more then a 410? I know it's more but enough?
By comparison, the velocity of the “shot loads” are very similar, hence we may expect similar performance in terms of penetration.
The real difference is found in the number of pellets contained in each shotshell…and the relative mass that can be delivered.
