"I recently grew to like my Rossi SS .22 rifle. Accounting for the time it takes to load my Marlin Model 60 completely, and clear the jams, they average out to roughly the same fire rate.

This brings me to my question. Is there anyone who is planning on their main weapon being a single-shot rifle or shotgun? If so, can you explain why? Thanks."

"That sounds good. As long as you practice with it, you'll probably be fine.
How many 000 pellets can a 20 ga. hold?
*Has a mental image of Ash with the SS in Evil Dead.*"

"My Ruger No.1, 25-06 is a single shot rifle, and it's accuracy at long ranges is unparalleled. Is it my only weapon? Not by a long shot (forgive the pun.) It's a niche weapon."

"all the 20 ga. 000 Buckshot shells im finding say around 20 pellets per shell."

"thats what is advertised. what size are the pellets in yout 12 gauge?"

"I think you are confusing number 3 buckshot with 000 buckshot
Number 3 buckshot is about 25 cal. while 000 is 36...I believe 000 is the largest size buckshot you can easly buy and is not sold in 20 gauge shells

A single shot is better then nothing but lots better guns to choose from. I sure don't see any reason to pick a single shot over a repeating firearm"
