Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a steel-shot load, so it is intended for wetlands or other areas where lead is restricted rather than for general lead-shot use.
- The 2-3/4" shell length and 1-1/16 oz payload may not suit shooters looking for a different payload or shell length.
- The #5 shot size is a specific choice that fits certain game and hunting setups, but it is not a universal option for every application.
- Packaged as a 250-case, it is a bulk purchase that may be more than needed for occasional use.
