Overview
Built for upland bird hunting, this 12 gauge load is set up for hunters who want a straightforward field shell for doves, crows, pigeons, pheasants, and similar game. It uses a 2.75" shell with a 1-1/8 oz load of 7.5 shot and a listed velocity of 1275 fps, giving it a clear role in typical upland shooting situations. Each box contains 25 rounds, which makes it a practical choice for a day afield or for keeping a supply on hand. It is a purpose-specific option rather than a general all-around shell, so it fits best when your hunt calls for this style of load.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This load is built around 7.5 shot, so it is suited to smaller upland birds and similar game rather than larger targets.
- The 2.75" shell length and 1-1/8 oz payload may not match every shotgun or every preferred upland setup, so chamber compatibility and load preference should be checked.
- At 25 rounds per box, it’s a practical field quantity, but hunters who shoot often may need multiple boxes for a full day or season use.
- The product data does not specify muzzle energy or other terminal-performance details, so selection should be based on the listed load and velocity rather than broader performance claims.
