Remington PL205 Pheasant Loads 20 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz #5 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box, 10 Boxes/Case

The Remington PL205 Pheasant Loads are a 20 gauge shotgun ammunition built for one job: dropping roosters at distance. Loaded with a 1 oz lead shot payload at 1220 fps, these 2.75" shells pack enough energy and pellet count to put down ring-necks cleanly from the field edge to the timber line. If you hunt upland birds where clean, dependable kills matter—and shots reach past the usual yardages—this is the ammo to trust.

Remington designed the #5 shot size specifically for pheasants, striking the balance between pellet energy and pattern density. The standard high-base construction delivers consistent velocity and reliable ignition in any weather. Whether you're working a state wildlife area, a private lease, or your neighbor's back forty in October, having ammunition you can count on frees you to focus on bird work and marksmanship.

This is a case pack—10 boxes of 25 rounds each, for 250 rounds total—built for serious upland hunters who shoot enough to benefit from buying in bulk. Load the truck, hit the field, and reload confident you've got the right tool for the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 20 gauge shotgun will these shells work in?

These are standard 2.75" 20 gauge shells and will function in any 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before purchasing.

Is #5 shot the right choice for pheasant hunting?

Yes. Remington designed the PL205 specifically for upland game pheasants. The #5 pellets provide the penetration needed for reliable lethality on rooster-sized birds while maintaining a tighter pattern than larger shot sizes.

Why buy a 10-box case instead of individual boxes?

Case packs are built for hunters who shoot regularly. If you hunt pheasant season or practice before opening day, 250 rounds is a practical working quantity that reduces trip frequency and simplifies inventory management.

How does 1220 fps velocity compare to other upland loads?

The 1220 fps muzzle velocity is standard high-base performance, delivering the range and energy needed for effective pheasant hunting at moderate to extended distances. Actual performance depends on your specific shotgun, barrel length, and choke combination.
