Considerations & Trade-offs
- Steel shot makes this load a fit for wetlands or other areas where lead is restricted, so it is not a universal choice for every hunting situation.
- The 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch, 1-1/16 oz, #6 shot configuration is purpose-specific, so hunters need to match it to the game and conditions they plan to hunt.
- It is presented as a pheasant-focused load but also listed for waterfowl, thrush, and partridge, so the intended use is broad rather than narrowly specialized.
- The box count is 25 rounds, which may be convenient for field use but requires more frequent restocking than larger-case options.
