The copper-plated lead shot also helps maintain pattern integrity for improved performance.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for hunting other game birds?

A: While specifically designed for pheasant hunting, this ammunition can be effective for other upland game birds of similar size. However, it may be overpowered for smaller game birds. Always check local hunting regulations regarding ammunition requirements for different game species.

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