Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 3-inch 20 gauge load, so it’s only appropriate for firearms chambered for that shell length.
- The 1 1/4 oz shot charge and 1185 fps velocity may not be the right balance for every upland setup or hunting distance.
- Shot size 6 is a specific choice; it suits some upland applications better than larger or smaller shot sizes, depending on target and conditions.
- This is a 25-round box, so larger-volume shooters may need multiple boxes for a full day afield.
