I've never seen Supreme or Double X in #6 for 20 ga but there maybe some, there are SuperPheasant #6 copper plated lead in 20ga and I believe they are almost same shell as the Double X... Also there is the Super X high brass #6 but their not copper plated though.

#6 lead loads in 20 gauge at 40 yards are not that impressive. Most look great at 30 but by 35 and certainly by 40 they have pretty well lost their identity from their 30 yard patterns.

The most readily available 20 gauge lead load is the Federal FC shell, as mentioned above. I use it as a 30 yard load regardless of choke used.

This is 20 ga Federal Grand Slam Turkey GST258 6 at 40y.  Not great numbers in the 10", but would be a dead turkey.  If hunting with this shell I try to limit the distance to 35y.

here they are...

Would really like to try those but no one carries them, like i said NY laws sucks only option are the Fed HW 7s
X2. I live in NY and hunted many other states as well. Rest assured, NY is the worst in our hunting regs and gun laws by far! There's no close second for sure.
