- The #5 lead shot size is a general-purpose hunting option, but it may not suit every game or every hunting setup.
- Muzzle velocity and muzzle energy are not provided, so performance comparisons are not supported by the available data.
- The box contains 25 rounds, which may be enough for a field day but may require additional boxes for extended use.
