Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 3" 12 gauge load, so it’s best suited to shotguns chambered for 3" shells.
- The 1 1/4 oz payload and 1500 fps velocity may produce a different recoil and point-of-impact feel than lighter target loads, so patterning before the hunt is important.
- Shot size 3 is geared toward a tighter pattern, which can be useful in waterfowl hunting but leaves less room for error on close, fast-moving birds.
- Each box contains 25 rounds, so larger-volume practice or extended trips will require multiple boxes.
