Considerations & Trade-offs
- Uses steel shot, so it is intended for wetlands or other areas where lead is restricted rather than for general-purpose lead-shot use.
- The load is specified as 2-3/4 inch, 1 oz, #5 shot, so it is a more defined setup that may not suit every shotgun or hunting application.
- The product description is focused on pheasant and similar game, with waterfowl also mentioned, so it is best matched to those use cases rather than broad all-around field use.
