Remington Express XLR Upland 20 Gauge 2.75" 1oz #5 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

The Remington Express XLR Upland 20 Gauge 2.75" 1oz #5 Shot is a proven upland game load built for hunters who want reliable performance without overthinking the details. Whether you're working through a corn field, pushing through brush, or hunting over a pointer, this is the workhorse ammunition that delivers consistent patterns and clean kills on pheasant, quail, and similar upland birds. The 20 gauge is the sweet spot for many upland hunters—less recoil than a 12, still plenty of shot to bring down game at reasonable ranges, and enough energy to handle a full day in the field.

Express XLR loads have been a fixture in hunting camps for decades because they simply work. The #5 shot size is specifically designed for upland birds, offering the right balance of pellet count and energy at typical hunting distances. A 1-ounce charge at 1220 feet per second gives you the velocity needed to maintain pattern density without excessive felt recoil, making it easier to stay on target for a second shot if needed. Lead shot performs well in standard shotgun barrels and remains the most cost-effective choice for high-volume upland hunting.

You get 25 rounds per box, which means a reasonable supply for a day afield or practice session. The bold new packaging makes them easy to spot on the shelf, but the ammunition inside is the same trusted formula that's put game in bags for generations. If you hunt upland birds with a 20 gauge and want ammunition that doesn't require any fussing—just load and shoot—this is it.
