Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for 1-1/8 oz shot charges, so it is not a universal fit for every reloading setup or payload weight.
  • Intended for all tapered hulls, which means it is more specialized than a general-purpose wad choice.
  • This is a component for reloading shotshells, so it is not a ready-to-use loaded shell.
  • The product description emphasizes competition target use, so it is aimed more at clay shooting applications than broad field use.
