The Remington Express 20630 delivers consistent #3 buckshot performance in a manageable 20-gauge platform. This ammunition combines proven Express hull technology with precisely sized lead pellets for reliable patterns and effective stopping power at close to medium ranges.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Express line utilizes compression-formed hulls that maintain consistent chamber pressure and pellet velocity shot after shot. The #3 buckshot pellets measure .25 inches in diameter, providing an optimal balance between pellet count and individual projectile energy. This configuration delivers more pellets on target than larger buck sizes while maintaining sufficient penetration for defensive applications.
Key Features
- 20 pellets of .25-inch diameter #3 buckshot per shell
- 2.75-inch hull length fits standard 20-gauge chambers
- Compression-formed plastic hull for consistent performance
- Lead pellets deliver reliable expansion and energy transfer
- Standard velocity load reduces felt recoil compared to magnum loads
- Proven Express primer system ensures reliable ignition
- Factory-crimped shells maintain consistent overall length
This buckshot load performs effectively in home defense scenarios where overpenetration concerns favor smaller pellet sizes. The 20-gauge platform generates less recoil than 12-gauge equivalents while maintaining adequate terminal performance at typical engagement distances. Law enforcement agencies often select #3 buckshot for urban environments where precise shot placement and controlled penetration are priorities.
