B&P Heavy Pheasant 20 Gauge 2.75-Inch 1oz #6 Shot, 25-Round Box

Hunters who want more pellets in the pattern without losing the extra velocity of B&P‘s Heavy Pheasant line will find it in this 20 gauge #6 shot loading (brand part no. 20B1H6), which packs a 1-ounce charge at 1350 fps into a 2.75-inch shell. Where the #4 version of this line trades pellet count for reach, the #6 loading packs more pellets into the same payload, tightening pattern density for closer to moderate-range shots on pheasant and similar upland birds. Heavy Pheasant still runs at the same elevated 1350 fps velocity as the rest of the line, so shot strikes the bird with authority rather than just peppering feathers. For a hunter working closer cover or flushing dogs that put birds up fast, this load favors pattern density over sheer reach.
