Browning BXD Upland 20 Gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz #5 Shot Ammo - 25 Rounds Box

The Browning BXD Upland 20 gauge shotshell is built for hunters working over pointers and flushers in open country. Loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #5 shot in a 3" hull, this round delivers the pattern density and velocity needed to cleanly take quail, partridge, and similar upland game at typical hunting ranges. BXD ammunition carries Browning's reputation for consistent performance, and the 20 gauge makes it a natural choice for hunters who favor a lighter-recoiling gun without sacrificing effective coverage.

The #5 shot size is the workhorse for upland birds—small enough to provide good pellet count and pattern but still carrying enough energy for reliable kills. The 1 1/4 oz payload in a 3" shell strikes the balance many upland hunters prefer: more shot than a standard 2 3/4" load, but without pushing into the heavier, harder-recoiling territory of magnum hunting rounds. Whether you're hunting public land or private cover, this ammunition pairs well with most modern 20 gauge shotguns and offers the reliability you need when a covey flushes or a single gets up in unexpected cover.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it easy to stock up for a day afield or build inventory for the season ahead. Browning's quality control means you can trust consistent velocities and patterns from shot to shot—important when you're counting on clean, ethical kills on fast-moving upland game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition suitable for upland hunting?

Yes. The Browning BXD Upland 20 gauge in #5 shot is purpose-built for upland game birds like quail, pheasant, and partridge. The shot size and payload are sized for the ranges and game typical of upland hunting.

Will this fit my 20 gauge shotgun?

This is a 3" shell, so it will chamber and fire in any 20 gauge shotgun rated for 3" ammunition. Check your shotgun's chamber markings to confirm it accepts 3" shells before loading.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of Browning BXD Upland 20 gauge 3" ammunition loaded with 1 1/4 oz #5 shot.

How does the 1 1/4 oz load compare to standard 2 3/4" upland loads?

The 1 1/4 oz payload in a 3" shell provides more shot than a typical 2 3/4" upland round, giving you denser patterns without the recoil of heavier magnum loads. This makes it popular for hunters who want an edge in pattern coverage while keeping felt recoil manageable.
