Overview
Built for waterfowl hunters targeting large ducks, this 12 gauge load is set up for longer-range shooting with 3.5" shells and 1 1/2 oz of 2 shot. The Flitecontrol Flex wad is designed to help maintain consistent patterns through different chokes, while the 1500 fps muzzle velocity supports a fast-moving shot string. It’s a practical choice for hunters who want a dedicated duck load in a 25-round box, especially when reduced barrel residue is a consideration.

- The Flitecontrol Flex wad is intended to help with pattern consistency through various chokes, but actual results can still vary by shotgun and choke setup.
- Packaged 25 rounds per box, so larger-volume shooting or extended hunts may require multiple boxes.
