Frequently Asked Questions
What game is #6 shot in 20 gauge best suited for?
#6 lead shot in a 20-gauge load is an excellent all-around choice for upland hunting. It patterns well for quail, grouse, woodcock, and doves at typical flushing and crossing distances, and also performs reliably on squirrels and rabbits in the timber. The 1 oz. payload at 1,220 FPS gives you enough pellet energy and density to make clean kills without the added recoil of heavier loads.
Will these Fiocchi shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic 20-gauge shotguns?
Yes. Fiocchi's Lead Hunting HV line is loaded to consistent pressure and velocity specifications, making it a dependable choice for semi-automatic shotguns as well as pump-action and over/under models. The uniform powder charge and quality hull construction contribute to reliable feeding, firing, and ejection across a wide variety of 20-gauge platforms. Always verify your specific firearm's recommended minimum load requirements if you have concerns about cycling.
How should I store unused Fiocchi shotshells to preserve their performance?
Store your Fiocchi shotshells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keeping shells in their original box helps protect the crimp and hull integrity. Properly stored lead shotshells can maintain reliable performance for many years. Avoid storing ammunition near solvents, oils, or corrosive chemicals that could degrade the primer or hull.
