Winchester, Remington and Federal all make 20g shells with 20 pellets of number 3 buckshot which is a bit bigger than BB. Probably marginal on deer, might do OK on goats close up.
No one makes 20g 00 buckshot shells that I can find. I guess the big pellets wouldn't stack well in the small case.

I guess you would call it the wad skirt possibly?? I will up load some photos, also gun city sells imperial #00 rounds and also imperial 9p, I brought some Winchester #3 because it’s all the shop had and cut it open and all it had was plastic granules packed with the shot which I’m not to keen on trying through the suppressor just in case it spreads inside the can,
