Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 28 gauge, 2-3/4" load, so it is intended for firearms chambered for that specific shell length and gauge.
- The #6 lead shot and 1-ounce payload are suited to upland birds and small game, but the load is not presented as a general-purpose option for larger game.
- At 1220 FPS, it offers a balanced field load rather than a high-velocity specialty round, so users looking for a different performance profile may want to compare options within the same gauge.
- Packaged in a 25-round box, which is practical for hunting use but may require multiple boxes for higher-volume shooting or extended practice.
