Overview
This 16 gauge shotshell is set up for small game hunting where a broad pattern is useful, including quarry such as quail and farm predators. The 8 shot lead load and 1200 fps muzzle velocity give it a straightforward, field-ready profile for hunters who want a practical option in a standard 2-3/4 inch shell. Each box includes 25 rounds, making it a sensible choice for a day afield or for keeping a compact supply on hand. It is a no-frills load focused on the basics, so it fits hunters who value simple, dependable ammunition over specialty features.
