Considerations & Trade-offs

  • These shells are purpose-built for waterfowl use, so they are a specialized choice rather than a general-purpose 12 gauge load.
  • The 2 Shot payload is suited to specific hunting conditions and may not match every hunter’s preferred shot size or application.
  • At 2.75 inches, they fit standard 12 gauge chambers, but hunters should still confirm compatibility with their shotgun and intended use.
  • The Drylok Super Steel casing is designed to help keep shells dry, which is useful in wet environments, but it does not eliminate the need for proper storage and handling.
