If you hunt upland game in areas with non-toxic shot requirements—or simply prefer to shoot steel-based loads—the Hevi-Shot Hammer Upland 20 Gauge 3" shotshell delivers the pattern density and knockdown you need in a compact gauge. Loaded with 7/8 oz of #5 shot, these rounds are engineered to perform in 20-gauge guns, making them ideal for hunters working close cover after quail, grouse, or other upland birds where a tighter shot column matters without sacrificing effective range.
Non-toxic shot regulations have become the standard across much of the country—and for good reason. Hevi-Shot's non-toxic formulations let you hunt legally and ethically in lead-restricted zones without compromise. The 20-gauge platform keeps recoil manageable, especially important when you're covering miles of brush and grassland on foot. Whether you're bound by regulation or making an environmental choice, this load delivers reliable performance without the debate.
Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can stock up for a full season of upland hunting. The 3" chamber length and #5 shot size work in standard 20-gauge upland guns, giving you a versatile, field-proven option that doesn't require special equipment or major changes to your existing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Hevi-Shot Hammer Upland work in my 20-gauge shotgun?
Yes, provided your gun has a 3" chamber. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before shooting any ammunition. If you're unsure, consult your gun's manual or a gunsmith.
What upland game is #5 shot suitable for?
The #5 shot size is effective for upland birds like quail, grouse, and similar game at typical hunting ranges. Your specific effective range depends on your gun, choke, and hunting conditions.
Why would I choose non-toxic shot over lead?
Many hunting areas now require non-toxic shot by law. Even where lead is still legal, non-toxic loads eliminate the risk of lead accumulation in the environment and game populations, and they comply with regulations in lead-restricted zones so you can hunt more places.
How many shells come in a box?
Each box contains 25 rounds.
