Sorry can't help you with the 20 slugs,but I use Longshot for all my dove loads (#8 shot).It works perfect.I load 1-1/8  "mag" loads.Couldn't be happier with the load.It really drops them out of the sky ;D............Rick

I use it to reload dangerous game slugs in 20ga.  I previously used HS-7, but since this powder has been discontinued, I have been using longshot.

Use whatever your load manual calls for 7/8oz. load.  I use 24.2 gr, but this will depend on what shell and primer you use.
