Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shells work in my 20-gauge shotgun?
Yes, if your 20-gauge is rated for 3-inch shells. Check your barrel marking or owner's manual to confirm your gun accepts 3-inch ammunition. Never shoot ammunition longer than your barrel is rated for.
What kind of upland game are these loaded for?
B&P designed this Heavy Pheasant load specifically for pheasants and similar-sized upland birds. The 1 1/4-ounce charge of 5 shot is effective for that game at typical hunting ranges.
How many boxes do I need for a day of hunting?
That depends on your hunting style and success rate. One 25-round box is a reasonable quantity for a half-day to full-day outing, though many hunters carry two boxes to be safe.
Is this ammunition compatible with older 20-gauge shotguns?
Only if your gun is marked for 3-inch shells. Older 20-gauge shotguns may be chambered for 2 3/4 inches only. Always verify your barrel markings before purchasing ammunition.
