Key Specifications
- The gauge is 12, a gauge with the payload to reach birds working the decoys.
- The shell length is 3 inches, sized to the chamber it is built for so it cycles and seals correctly.
- The payload weighs 1 1/4 oz, a heavier charge for more pellets on target.
- The shot size is #BBB, sized to carry through decoy-range shots on ducks and geese.
- The shot material is Steel-Bismuth Blend, blending steel with bismuth adds density back to a non-toxic payload for longer effective range.
- The lighter steel layer patterns first while the denser bismuth layer carries on to extend the load’s usable range beyond a straight steel payload.
- Each box holds 25 shells, enough to make it through a full morning shoot.
- Cost per shell runs about $1.42, useful for budgeting a full day afield or a case order.
- The box ships at about 2.736 lb, handy for estimating flat-rate shipping on a bulk order.
