Details
The Remington Express Buckshot was developed as a great hunting round at an affordable price. This load for 20 gauge shotguns is 2 3/4" long and is loaded with 20 #3 Buck pellets in a Remington Power-Piston one-piece wad. The load's velocity is measured at 1220 feet per second at 3 feet from the barrel. Customers find this product to shoot very good patterns for a 20 gauge load. The effective range for #3 Buckshot is a little over 30 yards with the proper choke. This ammunition is extremely versatile. It is an effective deer hunting load, can be used for hunting larger birds at fairly close range, and would be a reliable home defense load that is less -likely than the larger Buckshot loads to over-penetrate barriers.
