The Federal Premium Magnum 20 Gauge 2.75in #3 Buckshot (part no. P2563B) loads 20 copper-plated #3 buck pellets in a standard 2.75-inch hull, giving 20-gauge shooters a dense pattern without stepping up to a magnum hull. Federal starts every Premium load with the finest primers, inspected more frequently for dimensional tolerances and charge weight to guarantee consistent ignition shot after shot, paired with clean-burning propellants built to Federal’s stringent specifications. The copper-plated pellets produce tighter patterns and greater downrange energy, putting more hits on target for real stopping power on predators, hogs, and deer.
