Q: What makes the hi-brass construction beneficial?

A: The hi-brass (high brass) construction of this ammunition provides several benefits. It allows for higher powder charges, resulting in increased velocity and energy. This translates to improved range and effectiveness in the field. The high brass base also helps with extraction reliability, especially in semi-automatic shotguns.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: This ammunition is suitable for most 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" shells. However, it's always important to check your shotgun's specifications to ensure compatibility. The high brass construction may produce more recoil than low brass shells, so shooters should be prepared for potentially increased felt recoil.

A: The effective range of this ammunition will vary depending on the shotgun and choke used. However, with its 1330 fps velocity and #6 shot size, it's generally effective for upland game hunting at ranges up to about 40-45 yards. Always pattern your shotgun with this ammunition to determine its optimal range and effectiveness.
