Considerations & Trade-offs
- Built for 20 gauge, 3-inch chambers, so it is not a general-purpose load for every shotgun setup.
- The 1 1/4 oz, 5 shot payload is tailored to upland hunting and small game, which may not suit other game or hunting conditions.
- At 1250 fps, this load emphasizes a specific balance of velocity and payload rather than maximum versatility across all field uses.
- Each box contains 25 rounds, so larger-volume shooters will need to plan on multiple boxes.
