Shot Size and Velocity Breakdown

The #4 shot size sits in the sweet spot for upland work—larger than #6 for deeper penetration, smaller than #2 to minimize pellet count loss. Running at 1400 fps, these shells generate sufficient velocity for 30-40 yard effective range on moderately sized birds. Twenty-five rounds per box means you get consistent performance across multiple trips to the field. Understanding ammunition specifications helps you match load to game and distance.

Frequently asked questions

Are #4 shotshells suitable for both upland birds and clay targets?

#4 shot works better for upland game like pheasant and quail due to pellet size and energy retention. For clay shooting, you'll typically prefer smaller shot like #7.5 or #8 for tighter patterns and cleaner breaks.

Will 2-3/4" shells chamber in all 12-gauge shotguns?

Yes, 2-3/4" is the standard chamber length for 12-gauge shotguns. Check your shotgun's chamber marking to confirm it accepts 2-3/4" shells—some modern guns handle 3" or 3.5" as well, but always verify before loading.
