Heavy Shot Payload for Upland Gamebirds

The 1 3/8oz shot charge in this B&P load delivers denser pattern density than lighter alternatives, ideal for pheasants and similar upland species. At 2.75" chamber length, these shells cycle reliably through most 12-gauge shotguns. The #4 shot size bridges the gap between larger turkey loads and lighter target ammunition, offering effective range without unnecessary pellet bloat. Hunters coordinating with others should understand how private party transfer process rules apply when lending or sharing firearms on shared land.

Frequently asked questions

What distance should I expect effective patterns with #4 pheasant shot?

#4 shot delivers tight patterns to approximately 40 yards on pheasants, with energy retention adequate through 45 yards for experienced shooters. Distance, choke tube selection, and barrel length all influence actual performance at your location.

How does 1 3/8oz compare to lighter 12-gauge upland loads?

The 1 3/8oz payload increases pellet count versus lighter 1 1/8oz loads, producing denser coverage and better energy at distance. This extra payload trades slightly higher recoil for improved lethality on larger birds like roosters.
