20ga is no good for trap, its 12ga or nothing. Nobody shoots trap competitively
with a 20ga, or I've never seen anybody that could keep up and I saw a lot of
people try.

410 are crazy expensive now. Back when I was in HS they were $5 when
12 was $2.50 a box. Now they are more than 2x. 20 is about the same
as 410 and 16 is probably worse. 20 is nice for trap, but 12 is so
much cheaper over the long haul.
Another reason to make each shot count. 12 has a lot more
versatility. You can probably figure out a 3/4 oz load to make it
like a 410, up to the heavy loads, and yes, 0000 buck works better in
a 12.
