Key Features
Copper-Plated Pellets
Each #3 buckshot pellet is copper-plated. This material treatment effectively resists deformation during bore passage and subsequent flight, a critical factor in achieving tighter pattern spreads downrange. The result is enhanced pattern density, increasing the probability of multiple projectile impacts on target.
Consistent Energy Transfer
The specific ballistic design of these shotgun shells ensures substantial energy delivery downrange. This capability is paramount for the ethical harvest of medium game such as deer, wild hogs, and various predators, providing the requisite impact for effective incapacitation.
20 Gauge Optimization
Tailored specifically for 20-gauge shotgun platforms, this load presents a potent ammunition option for hunters who prioritize a balanced integration of recoil management and terminal performance. It stands as a dependable choice for applications demanding precise projectile placement over broad area coverage.
