20-67

20/67 shotgun shells are made for 20 gauge shotguns with a 67 mm chamber length. This category sits in the ammunition section next to the 12, 16 and other 20 gauge variants, and the range here holds three FIOCCHI products: two loaded with steel shot and one with a Brenneke slug. A 20 gauge gun weighs less than a 12 gauge, so many hunters pick it for long driven hunts and days afield when the gun stays in your hands or slung over a shoulder for hours.

Who 20/67 shells are for

20/67 shells suit hunters who carry a lighter 20 gauge gun for birds and small game, and who also want a slug option for larger game. The steel shot loads work for ducks, pheasants, hares and similar targets that need a wide shot pattern, while the slug gives you a single-projectile option for boar or roe deer at close range.

The 67 mm marking refers to chamber length, not the shell's name alone. Check your gun's chamber before you buy: a 67 mm shell fits a chamber of 67 mm or longer, such as 76 mm, but not the other way round.

Shot and slug types in this category

The three FIOCCHI loads differ in shot size and purpose, from fine steel shot for birds to a single slug for larger game.

FIOCCHI Steel Nr.4, 3.1 mm, 24 g

A finer steel shot suited to ducks, waders and other birds at medium range. Steel shot is often required near wetlands, where lead shot is restricted under environmental rules.

FIOCCHI Steel Nr.3, 3.3 mm, 24 g

A larger pellet diameter than Nr.4, better suited to bigger birds or longer range shots that need more energy per pellet.

FIOCCHI Brenneke slug, 24 g

A single-projectile shell for boar or roe deer with a smoothbore gun, useful when a rifled barrel is not allowed or you simply do not have one.

How to choose the right shells

Work through a few points before you pick from the 20/67 range:

1. Check your gun's chamber length: it must be at least 67 mm.
2. Decide on the target: birds call for shot, larger game calls for a slug.
3. Match pellet size to distance: Nr.4 for closer shots, Nr.3 for longer range or bigger birds.
4. Confirm whether your hunting ground requires steel shot near water.

Field advice for hunters

Steel shot behaves differently from lead: it is harder and can stress an older barrel more, so check the maker's advice on choke type before you shoot it. On a driven hunt, a lighter 20 gauge gun lets you get into position faster and keeps you fresher through a long day. Keep slugs separate from shot shells in your bag or belt pouches so you can grab the right load quickly during a hunt.

The FIOCCHI brand

FIOCCHI is an Italian ammunition maker known among hunters and shooters for consistent quality across both shot and slug lines. All three products in this category come from the same maker, so you can pair shot and slug loads from one supplier to match your hunt.

For other gauges, see 12/67 shells, 16/70 shells or 20/70 shells, and for flares check signal ammunition. If you are unsure which shells fit your gun or hunt, write to us and we will advise.
