The Remington Express XLR 20 gauge shotshell delivers extended range performance for upland game hunters who demand consistent patterns at longer distances. This 2.75-inch shell combines proven Express technology with XLR (Extra Long Range) components for superior downrange energy retention.
What Makes This Different
The Express XLR features specially designed shot buffering and enhanced wad technology that maintains tighter patterns compared to standard field loads. The 7/8-ounce payload of #6 shot provides optimal pellet count and energy for medium game birds while generating manageable recoil in lightweight 20-gauge firearms. Factory-loaded with consistent powder charges, these shells deliver uniform velocities shot after shot.
Key Features
- 7/8-ounce #6 shot payload optimized for upland game and sporting clays
- 2.75-inch hull length compatible with all 20-gauge shotguns
- XLR buffering technology reduces pellet deformation for tighter patterns
- High-strength brass head construction for reliable extraction
- Consistent 1200+ fps muzzle velocity across temperature ranges
- 25-round boxes packaged in 10-box cases for bulk purchasing
- Lead shot composition meets hunting regulations in most jurisdictions
Field testing demonstrates effective pattern density out to 40+ yards, making these shells suitable for challenging shots on fast-flying birds. The #6 shot size strikes the balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, providing clean harvests on quail, dove, grouse, and similar-sized game. The XLR design maintains pattern integrity in windy conditions where standard loads might open up prematurely.
