Unless you're somehow hand crimping them (not recommended), your crimper or hand crimping tool will be the correct diameter. However, if you're trying to manufacture (machine) some kind of crimper, just measure the outside tube diameter of a few loaded 20 ga rounds.

Ballistics products has much of the information and tools you'll need to load slugs.
