Considerations & Trade-offs
- This load is set up for 16 gauge shotguns only, so it is not a fit for hunters running other gauges.
- The 2.75" shell length and 1 oz payload may be a practical choice for upland use, but it is not a heavier-load option.
- Shot size 6 is a specific upland choice, so hunters looking for a different pellet size will need a separate load.
- Each box contains 25 rounds, which is enough for a hunt or range session, but not a high-volume case quantity.
