    [QUOTE.]..you CANT overload case with buckshot as the airspace between balls is greater than with the smaller shot so payload will be less. try smallest sinkers you can buy from warehouse if you cant source buckshot elsewhere...they work. the .410 is another guage that is served well with buckshot...man is that easy to put together. ][/QUOTE]

    jesus micky i dont know if that logic holds
    better would be to wiegh the buckshot pellets and get a 20 gauge load thats close as possible to that wieght.
    over wieght would reqire less powder to start with to keep pressure down and you could build up to a hotter load.
    if the bucks way lighter than the emptied out birdshot load that could be hairy to.
