I'll be honest, I was baiting you with the question.   I have heard of one and only one company who makes them, but never heard of anyone who sells them and the company does not sell direct.

I'm pretty sure that the only way to get this cartridge is to hand load it and I'm not comfortable with firing such a load as I would be worried about the shot jamming together in the barrel.

00 buck in a 20 gauge is a very bad idea in my opinion.   There are some companies that sell No. 2 shot in 20 gauge which should be a good cartridge, but those are near impossible to find as well.

I have #2's for my 20Ga double.
According to my old dive buddy who was one of those marine mammal types that crawled around in the mud a lot in the Mekong Delta, for close range work, he preferred #2 to buck.

ETA. If you're in an area where there are a lot of turkey hunters, it's easier to find.

In Alabama the castle starts at the moat (property line).
Till about the turn of the century we had to retreat , even inside our home and fire a warning shot.

I should point out that you need reason to belive they are a threat.

3. 20 ga will fire 00ought but not as many pellets.

Cool, can you give me a link to the manufacturer that sells 20 gauge 00 buck shells? My daughter has a 20 for her home weapon and I would far prefer to give her those over No. 3 shot.

Unfortunatly no I have not been able to get them either.
try this www.luckygunner.com/
or this ammo.net/
in looking I did fnd a site that indicated (it was a chat site so take that into account) there is a better chance of problems with 00 in a 20 than a 12

I've never owned a 20, my son did but got rid of it and got a 12 ga riot gun.

Both of those sites claim to have 20 ga 00 , they may both get them from the same place though.
