Considerations & Trade-offs

  • 20 gauge, 3" shells are chamber-specific, so this load is only suitable for firearms set up for that length and gauge.
  • The 7/8 oz. payload is a lighter option, which may be a trade-off if you prefer a heavier shot charge.
  • This is a steel waterfowl load, so it is intended for that use case rather than general-purpose upland or target applications.
  • Performance is tied to the firearm’s ability to cycle reliably; the product notes optimized functioning in many semi-automatic firearms, but individual guns can vary.
