- BB shot and 1 5/8 oz payload are geared toward waterfowl applications, which may not suit every hunting scenario or preferred patterning setup.
- The nickel-plated head and 4-petal wad are useful features, but final performance still depends on choke selection and your specific shotgun.
- This is a 25-round box, so hunters who shoot frequently may need to plan for additional supply.
