Considerations & Trade-offs
- 16 gauge, 2.75-inch shells are a specific fit, so this load is only suitable for shotguns chambered for that configuration.
- The 1 oz payload with 8 shot is geared toward upland hunting, which means it is not a one-load solution for every game or distance requirement.
- Muzzle velocity is listed at 1165 fps, so hunters looking for a faster load will need to choose accordingly.
- The 25-round box is practical for a day afield, but larger-volume shooting will require multiple boxes.
