Pros

  • 20-gauge, 3-inch load with 1 ounce of steel shot for waterfowl hunting.

  • Packaged 25 rounds per box for convenient range or field use.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • This is a 20-gauge, 3-inch load, so it’s best suited to firearms chambered for that shell length and gauge.
  • The 1 oz shot payload is a deliberate trade-off between payload and recoil/handling characteristics, rather than a heavier waterfowl load.
  • Performance is tied to the Flitecontrol Flex wad and compatibility with various waterfowl chokes, so pattern results can vary by setup.
  • It is described for large ducks, so it may be more specialized than a general-purpose shotshell for mixed upland or small-game use.
