Frequently Asked Questions:

The 1 oz payload of #4 shot offers excellent pattern density and knockdown power, making it effective for pheasants and other upland game birds. Additionally, its copper-plated shot reduces feather draw and improves penetration.

Q: What are the key specifications of this ammunition?

A: This Federal Pheasant Forever High Velocity ammunition is 20 gauge, with a 2-3/4 inch shell length. It contains 1 oz of #4 shot and has a muzzle velocity of 1350 feet per second. The ammunition comes in boxes of 25 rounds.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for hunting other than pheasants?

A: Yes, while primarily designed for pheasant hunting, this ammunition is also effective for other upland game birds such as grouse and quail. Its high velocity and #4 shot size make it versatile for various small game hunting scenarios.

Q: What advantages does the copper-plated shot provide?

A: The copper-plated shot in this ammunition offers several advantages. It delivers tighter shot patterns for improved accuracy, reduces feather draw for cleaner kills, and provides extra-deep penetration. These features combine to make the ammunition more effective and ethical for hunting.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 20 gauge shotguns?

A: This ammunition is suitable for most modern 20 gauge shotguns chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells. However, due to its high-velocity nature, it's important to ensure your shotgun is rated for high-velocity loads. Always consult your shotgun's manual or a gunsmith if you're unsure about compatibility.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard 20 gauge loads?

A: Due to its high velocity (1350 fps), this ammunition may produce more recoil than standard 20 gauge loads. The increased recoil is a trade-off for the enhanced performance and longer effective range. Shooters should be prepared for potentially more felt recoil, especially during extended shooting sessions.
