Overview
Built for waterfowl hunters working medium to longer distances, this 12-gauge load combines BB and 2 shot in a 3-inch, 1 1/4-ounce shell. The zinc-plated steel shot and FLITECONTROL FLEX wad are intended to produce tight patterns, giving the load a focused presentation in the air. With a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps, it is aimed at hunters who want a steel-shot option for standard waterfowl setups. The 25-round box format suits range sessions or a day afield, while the mixed-shot payload may appeal to those looking for a versatile load choice.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 3-inch 12-gauge load, so it’s intended for guns chambered for that shell length.
- The BB and 2 shot combination is a specific waterfowl setup, which may be less versatile than a single-shot-size load for other hunting situations.
- At 1 1/4 ounces and 1450 fps, it’s built for medium to long distances, so it may not be the best fit if you prefer lighter-recoiling or shorter-range loads.
- The zinc-plated steel shot and FLITECONTROL FLEX wad are part of the load design, but the description does not provide enough detail to compare it directly with other ammunition options.
