A heavy 1 ounce payload gives the light, quick-handling 20 gauge more reach on upland birds and longer clay targets. This listing is Federal Game-Shok Heavy Field 20 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce #7.5 lead shot ammo, MPN H20275, sold as a 250 round case.
Federal rates this load at 1,165 fps. The 1 ounce charge is a heavy load for a 2-3/4 inch 20 gauge shell, putting more pellets in the pattern for pheasant, quail, doves, and rabbits. #7.5 shot carries enough energy per pellet for upland birds at typical field distances and is also popular on sporting clays courses for longer targets. Game-Shok is Federal’s value field line, so it works well for practice and hunting alike where lead shot is legal.
This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 20 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Remington 870 and 1100 in 20 gauge, the Mossberg 500 Bantam, the Beretta A300 and 686 in 20, the Benelli Montefeltro and Ultra Light, the Browning Citori and BPS, and the Stoeger M3020. A common question is whether a 1 ounce 20 gauge load recoils heavily. It recoils more than 7/8 ounce loads but remains manageable in most 20 gauges, especially gas-operated semi-autos. Another common question is whether 20 gauge shells fit a 12 gauge gun. They can slide into a 12 gauge chamber and lodge in the barrel, which is extremely dangerous, so keep gauges separated.
Federal H20275 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Federal in Anoka, Minnesota. This case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 20 gauge 1 ounce #7.5 shot. That is enough for a season of upland hunting plus pre-season clays practice, all from one lot so your patterns stay predictable. Pattern the load through your favorite choke before opening day.
