The Remington Ultimate Defense 20681 delivers reliable stopping power for home defense applications. This 20-gauge buckshot load combines proven powder formulations with consistent shot patterns to maximize effectiveness at typical defensive distances.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Ultimate Defense line utilizes specially selected propellants that produce consistent velocities across temperature ranges. The 3-buck shot configuration provides an optimal balance between pellet count and individual projectile energy. Unlike standard hunting loads, these rounds are engineered specifically for defensive scenarios where reliable expansion and penetration matter most.
Key Features
- 20-gauge 2.75-inch shells for reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge alternatives
- 3-buck shot pellets deliver substantial stopping power with manageable patterns
- High-quality brass cases ensure reliable extraction and ejection
- Consistent powder charges maintain velocity uniformity shot to shot
- Standard 2.75-inch length fits all 20-gauge shotguns including youth models
- Factory-fresh primers provide dependable ignition in all conditions
- Boxed in convenient 5-round packages for easy storage
These shells perform effectively in both pump-action and semi-automatic 20-gauge shotguns. The reduced recoil characteristics make them suitable for shooters who find 12-gauge loads too punishing while still delivering serious defensive capability. Pattern density remains tight enough for precision at home defense distances while providing sufficient spread for quick target acquisition under stress.
