Frequently asked questions

What hunting situations call for #4 shot in a 20-gauge shell?

#4 shot works well for pheasant, quail, and larger upland birds where pellet size balances range and density. The heavier 1 1/4-ounce payload gives you pattern consistency at 30–45 yards, standard for flushing hunting.

How does the 3-inch case affect performance compared to 2 3/4-inch loads?

The 3-inch case holds extra powder charge and shot weight, delivering higher velocity and denser patterns downrange. This gives you more energy retention on longer shots without changing your point-of-aim.
