Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the primary use for the Tunet Pigeon Skirted Wad 12 Gauge shells?

A: The Tunet Pigeon Skirted Wad 12 Gauge 2 3/4" 1.25 oz #7.5 Shot shells are primarily designed for clay pigeon shooting and upland game hunting. The #7.5 shot size is ideal for breaking clay targets and is effective for hunting smaller upland birds like dove and quail.

Q: What are the advantages of using a skirted wad in these shells?

A: The skirted wad in these Tunet shells provides several benefits. It helps to protect the shot from deformation during firing, resulting in more consistent patterns. The skirt also acts as a gas seal, improving efficiency and potentially increasing velocity. Additionally, it can help reduce felt recoil by providing a cushioning effect.

Q: Are these shells suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: These Tunet Pigeon shells are 2 3/4" in length, making them suitable for most 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" or 3" shells. However, they should not be used in shotguns specifically designed for 3 1/2" shells only. Always check your shotgun's specifications and consult the manufacturer's guidelines before using any ammunition.

Q: What is the expected effective range of these shells?

A: The effective range of these Tunet Pigeon shells with #7.5 shot is typically around 35-40 yards for clay target shooting and upland hunting. Beyond this range, the pattern density may become too sparse for consistent breaks or ethical kills.

Q: Can these shells be used for home defense?

A: While these shells can technically be used for home defense, they are not ideal for this purpose. The #7.5 shot is relatively small and designed for breaking clay targets or hunting small game. For home defense, larger shot sizes or buckshot are generally recommended for their increased stopping power at close range.
