Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for smoothbore shotguns, but it can also be used in rifled choke tube barrels or fully rifled barrels, so fit and setup should be confirmed for your shotgun.
- This is a 2-3/4" 20 gauge load with 3/4 oz slugs, so it is not a universal option for other gauges or shell lengths.
- Packaged in a 5-round box, which is practical for sight-in or limited use but may require multiple boxes for extended range sessions or hunting trips.
- The TruBall system is intended to enhance accuracy, but actual results will still depend on the shotgun, barrel type, and individual setup.
