Overview
Built for waterfowl hunters who want a non-toxic 20 gauge option, this 3" shell is loaded with a 1 oz blend of #2 and #4 steel shot and listed at 1300 fps. The blended shot design is intended to support dense mid-range patterns while giving hunters flexibility across ducks, geese, and other migratory birds. It is a straightforward choice for field use where steel shot is required and a 25-round box is practical for a day in the blind.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 20 gauge, 3" load, so it’s best suited to hunters set up for that chambering and shell length.
- The 1 oz payload is a deliberate balance for pattern density and shot count, but it is not a heavier payload option.
- The #2 and #4 blended steel shot is aimed at versatility on waterfowl, yet it still requires appropriate shot selection for the bird and distance.
- At 1300 fps, this load is built around a specific velocity profile rather than maximum payload or specialized long-range use.
