Lead Shot Performance in 12-Gauge Upland Loads

The 1 1/4-ounce shot charge with number 5 pellets creates a dense pattern suited for medium-range upland work. At 2.75 inches, this shell length cycles reliably through standard shotgun actions without the recoil penalty of magnum loads. Lead shot maintains its velocity and energy delivery through brush and light cover. For shooters building their ammunition stockpile, check our California-compliant handgun catalog for complementary defensive loads. Visit our gun shop in Sunnyvale for our full catalog.
