Considerations & Trade-offs
- Steel shot makes this load a fit for wetlands and other areas where lead is restricted, so it may not suit hunters who prefer lead-based options for upland use.
- The 2-3/4" shell length and 1-1/16 oz payload are specific to this load, so it should be matched to a shotgun and hunting setup that accepts those specifications.
- It is described for waterfowl, thrush, partridge, and pheasant, but the intended use is still specialized rather than a broad all-purpose shotshell.
- Packaged 25 rounds per box, which is practical for field use but may require multiple boxes for higher-volume shooting or extended trips.
