These loads are specially optimized for long shots at very large waterfowl. They are more lethal than any steel or non-toxic load, especially at longer distances. They are specially buffered to ensure a tight pattern, and the superior lethality of Hevi Shot pellets lets you shoot a smaller pellet size in order to send substantially more pellets after your bird. 3" - These magnum loads are designed for the hunter who wants more speed and energy and is willing to sacrifice a bit of pattern to get it. They still pattern far more tightly than any steel or non-toxic load. You can shoot a much smaller pellet size in order to send substantially more pellets after your bird.
Gauge: 20 Type: Hevi-Shot Length: 3" Ounces: 1 1/4 oz Shot Size: 7.5 Muzzle Velocity: 1250 fps Rounds-box: 10 Rounds Per Box, 10 Boxes Per Case

The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays. — Craig Boddington
