B&P Heavy Pheasant 20 gauge shotgun shells (brand part no. 20B1H4) load a 1-ounce charge of #4 shot at 1350 fps for upland hunters who want a 20 gauge that hits like a bigger bore. The Heavy Pheasant line steps up velocity and payload over a standard light field load, giving the smaller-frame 20 gauge the range and knockdown power pheasant hunters usually reserve for a 12 gauge. The #4 shot balances pellet energy against pellet count, carrying enough punch to fold a rooster at extended range while still patterning densely enough for a clean hit. For a hunter who carries a light gun through long field days but still wants to close the distance on a flushing bird, this load is built for that exact tradeoff.
