Migra Staxd 20ga Pheasant 4 over 6 Load 1-1/4 oz – Proven 25 Round Box

Description

Migra Staxd 20ga Pheasant 4 over 6 takes the stacked shot idea Migra built for 12 gauge pheasant hunters and puts it into a 3 inch 20 gauge hull. The shell carries 1.25 ounces of lead at 1350 fps, with number 4 pellets stacked over number 6. That is a genuinely heavy payload for a 20, and it is what lets a lighter gun reach a rooster that gets up wild.

A 20 Gauge That Reaches Like a 12

A standard 20 gauge upland load carries 7/8 or one ounce of shot. This one carries 1.25 ounces, which is the same payload as a standard 12 gauge field load, squeezed into a 3 inch 20 gauge hull. That is the whole argument for a 3 inch 20: it lets someone who prefers a lighter, faster handling gun carry a shell that still has the pellets to kill a big bird at forty yards.

Stacking the shot sizes does the rest. Number 6 gives pellet count and an even pattern for the close flush over a dog. Number 4 carries energy and penetration for the rooster that gets up out of range and keeps going. A stacked shot shotshell covers both without asking you to guess which shell to load before you know how the birds are behaving.

High brass is not decoration here either. The taller brass head handles the powder charge needed to move 1.25 ounces at 1350 fps out of a small bore, and Migra pairs it with their own wad and powder selection rather than an off the shelf recipe. This is high brass upland ammunition built for one bird and priced accordingly.

This is a 3 inch shell and requires a 20 gauge chambered for 3 inch. Many older 20 gauge guns are 2 3/4 inch only, so check your barrel marking before ordering. Because this is lead shot it can be fired safely through fixed choke guns that are not rated for steel.

Honest Notes on Heavy 20 Gauge Loads

Recoil is the honest cost and it is not small. 1.25 ounces at 1350 fps out of a six pound 20 gauge kicks harder than the same payload out of a seven and a half pound 12, because there is less gun to absorb it. If you bought a 20 gauge to get away from recoil, this shell gives a good deal of it back. Try a box before you buy a case.

Check the chamber first. A 3 inch shell will not fit a 2 3/4 inch chamber, and plenty of older 20 gauge upland guns are 2 3/4 only. The barrel marking tells you, and if there is no marking a gunsmith can measure it in a minute.

Pattern it before the season. Stacked loads behave differently through different chokes and the only way to know what Migra Staxd 20ga Pheasant 4 over 6 does out of your gun is paper at thirty five and forty five yards. It takes an afternoon and it is worth more than any marketing claim.

Lead restrictions apply on a growing number of public properties, including all federal waterfowl production areas even for upland birds. Check the regulations for the specific ground you are hunting, because the fine does not care that the box says pheasant.

The same load in 12 gauge carries the payload with less felt recoil, and the Field Lite stacked load covers smaller birds. Full line details are on the Migra Ammunitions pheasant page.
