Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 3-inch 20-gauge load, so it requires a shotgun chambered for that shell length and gauge.
- Shot size 4 is a specific upland-oriented choice, so it may not suit every bird, range, or hunting setup.
- The load is built around Federal’s FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and mixed pellet payload, which means its performance is tied to that design rather than a more conventional shotshell pattern.
- It comes in a 25-round package, which is practical for hunting use but not a high-volume target or practice quantity.
