Considerations & Trade-offs
- These are 20 gauge, 3-inch shells, so they’re only suitable for firearms chambered for that load length and gauge.
- The 1 oz payload and #3 steel shot are a specific waterfowl setup, which means they’re not a general-purpose choice for every hunting application.
- At 1250 FPS, performance is defined by this load’s intended use; hunters should match it to their gun, choke, and expected shooting distances.
- The pack count is 25 rounds, so larger-volume outings will require multiple boxes.
