Overview
Built for pheasant hunting, these 20-gauge shotshells pair a 3-inch, 1-1/4 oz load with a listed velocity of 1185 fps for use in the field where consistent shot placement matters. The copper-plated lead shot with high antimony content is intended to support tighter patterns and deeper penetration on tough upland game. Packaged in 25-round boxes, they suit hunters looking for a dedicated pheasant load rather than a general-purpose shell.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- These are 20-gauge, 3-inch shells, so they’re only suitable for firearms chambered for that specific load length.
- The 1-1/4 oz load and 1185 fps velocity reflect a pheasant-focused setup, which may be more specialized than a lighter all-around field load.
- Copper-plated lead shot is intended for this application, but it also means these shells are not a universal choice for every hunting situation or regulatory requirement.
- Each box contains 25 rounds, so hunters planning extended outings may need multiple boxes on hand.
