Copper-plated shot construction and velocity profile

The 1-1/4 oz payload in a 20-gauge 3-inch shell strikes the balance many upland hunters prefer—enough energy for clean takedowns without excessive recoil. Copper plating reduces deformation in the barrel, preserving pellet roundness for denser, more predictable patterns. At 1250 fps, this load performs consistently from typical field distances.

Frequently asked questions

What does #5 shot size mean for upland game?

#5 shot contains approximately 170 pellets per ounce. This size balances penetration and pattern density for pheasant and similar-sized upland birds at typical hunting ranges—roughly 25–40 yards.

Is the 3-inch chamber requirement different from standard 20-gauge ammo?

Yes. 3-inch shells require a gun proofed for that pressure. Standard 20-gauge shotguns may be chambered for 2.75 inches only. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before purchasing.
