- ✔ Reliable Performance: High output primers ensure consistent ballistics and dependability in cold and wet conditions.
- ✔ Improved Pattern Density: Uniformly round pellets and high-density plastic wad contribute to tighter shot patterns.
Cons
- ✘ Significant Recoil: The 3 1/2" shell length combined with high velocity and heavy payload results in substantial felt recoil.
- ✘ Limited Application: The large BBB shot size may be excessive for smaller waterfowl species.
- ✘ Gun Compatibility: Requires a shotgun chambered for 3 1/2" shells, which not all 12 gauge shotguns can accommodate.
