Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 28-gauge load with a 2-3/4" shell length, so it is only suitable for firearms chambered for that specific gauge and length.
- The 1-3/16 oz. #6 shot payload offers a specific pellet count and pattern density balance, which may not match every upland or clay setup.
- Muzzle velocity and muzzle energy are not provided, so load selection has to be based on gauge, shell length, and shot size rather than those performance figures.
- Packaged as 25 rounds per box, which may be convenient for range use but may require multiple boxes for heavier-volume shooting.
