Overview
This 12-gauge load is built for hunters and shooters who want a straightforward option for target work, personal defense, and hunting. It uses a 2 3/4-inch hull with 1 1/2 ounces of #5 lead shot and is listed at a muzzle velocity of 1260 FPS. That combination makes it a practical choice when a high-velocity shell is preferred, while still keeping the setup simple and familiar. Each box includes 10 rounds, which suits range sessions or a small supply for the field.
