Frequently Asked Questions
What upland game is #5 shot in 20 gauge best suited for?
#5 shot is a versatile all-around upland choice. It hits hard enough for larger birds like pheasant and grouse at moderate ranges, while still being effective on quail, woodcock, and squirrel. The 1 oz. payload at 1,220 FPS gives you a dense, even pattern that's effective from close flushes out to about 35–40 yards under normal field conditions.
Will these Fiocchi shells cycle reliably in my semi-automatic 20 gauge shotgun?
Yes. Fiocchi engineers these high-velocity loads to cycle reliably in both pump-action and gas-operated semi-automatic shotguns. The consistent 1,220 FPS velocity provides sufficient energy to actuate most semi-auto actions. As always, consult your firearm's owner's manual for the minimum recommended load specifications, as some inertia-driven actions may have specific requirements.
How should I store these shotshells to maintain their performance?
Store your Fiocchi shotshells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity. Keeping them in their original box or an airtight ammo storage container helps protect the powder charge and primer from moisture exposure. Properly stored shotshells can maintain reliable performance for many years without degradation.
