Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 3-inch, 1 1/4 oz load, so it’s best suited to guns chambered for 3" 12 gauge shells and hunters who want that specific payload size.
- The 2 shot size is geared toward close-range waterfowl use, so it may not be the right choice if your setup calls for a different pellet size or longer-range patterning.
- At 1500 fps, this is a fast steel load, but the performance details provided are tied to very short distances; hunters should match it to their expected shooting range.
- The box contains 25 rounds, which is practical for a hunt or range session, but may require more frequent resupply for extended use.
