Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose #5 over #4 shot for turkey hunting? #5 shot delivers a denser pattern with more pellets than #4, trading a small amount of per-pellet energy for a better chance of multiple hits on the head and neck at range.
Will a 3.5-inch shell work in any 12 gauge shotgun? No, a 3.5-inch shell requires a shotgun specifically chambered for 3.5-inch magnum loads; firing it in a gun chambered for 3-inch or 2.75-inch shells is unsafe.
