Pros
- Designed for waterfowl hunting with a 12 gauge, 3-inch shotshell format.
- Uses a blend of #2 S3 steel shot and #7.5 Tungsten Super Shot.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 3" 12 gauge load, so it’s built around a specific chambering and may not suit hunters using shorter 12ga setups.
- The 25-round box is convenient for a day afield, but it is not a high-volume range quantity.
- The shot blend includes both steel and TSS components, which gives the load a defined purpose for waterfowl hunting rather than broad all-around use.
- At 1-5/16 oz total charge, this is a heavier field load that may not be the right fit for every gun or recoil preference.
