Heavy Pheasant, 20 Gauge, 4 Shot, 2-3/4 in, 1 oz, 1350 fps

Specifications

Pros

• 20 gauge load tailored for pheasant hunting applications
• 4 shot size suited to heavier upland game
• 1 oz payload for a balanced field load
• 1350 fps listed muzzle velocity
• 2-3/4 inch shell length for standard chambered shotguns

Considerations & Trade-offs

• The load is set up for 20 gauge guns only, so it is not a fit for other gauges.
• With 4 shot and a 1 oz payload, it reflects a specific pheasant-hunting setup rather than a general-purpose field load.
• The 2-3/4 in shell length may limit use to firearms chambered for that length.
• At 1350 fps, this is a higher-velocity load that may come with more recoil than lighter target or upland loads.
