As Quixote rightly says the main differance is the longer shot string, pellet for pellet theres is no differance no matter what bore/guage the gun is, its killing power is set by muzzel velocity X pellet weight. Any advantage of a 20b is in its light weight and fast handling. The smaler chamber/barrel will give a rise in working pressure so powder load is reduced but keeps the same velocity due to the pressure increase,,,,,,,,,,,, try a 24g in your 20b gives much better patterns and lighter on the shoulder
