The 1-1/8 oz payload of #6 copper-plated lead shot offers tight patterns, decreased feather draw, and deep penetration, making it highly effective for pheasants, quail, grouse, and other upland game birds.

Q: What are the key specifications of this ammunition?

A: The key specifications are: 12 gauge, 2-3/4 inch shell length, 1-1/8 oz shot weight, #6 shot size, 1500 fps muzzle velocity, and 25 rounds per box. It uses premium copper-plated lead shot and features brass-plated heads for reliable performance.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for other types of hunting besides upland birds?

A: While primarily designed for upland bird hunting, this ammunition can also be effective for small game hunting and pest control. However, it's important to check local regulations as some areas may restrict the use of lead shot for certain types of hunting.

Q: How does the copper plating on the shot benefit performance?
