Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 2.75-inch 12 gauge load, so it’s best matched to shotguns chambered for that shell length and gauge.
- The 1 1/4 oz, 6 shot load is described as effective at medium ranges, so it may not be the right choice when your hunt calls for a different range window or shot size.
- It is a lead shot load, which may limit use in areas or situations where non-lead ammunition is required.
- Each box contains 25 rounds, so larger outings or practice sessions may require multiple boxes.
