Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for clay shooting where lead is prohibited, so it is not a general-purpose 12 gauge load for every range or discipline.
- The 1 oz, #9 steel shot payload is tuned for clays, which may limit flexibility if you need a different shot size or payload.
- Its higher velocity is presented as part of the load’s design, but that also means it is a specialized performance choice rather than a low-recoil option by default.
- The 250-case format is convenient for volume shooting, but it is a larger purchase if you only need a small quantity for occasional use.
