Frequently asked questions

What makes #6 shot suitable for pheasant hunting?

#6 shot provides enough pellet count and energy density to cleanly take pheasants at 25–40 yard ranges. Larger than target shot, smaller than waterfowl loads, it balances pattern density with penetration for upland birds.

How many rounds should I bring for a day in the field?

A 25-round box covers a typical morning hunt with margin for practice. Most upland hunters fire 5–15 rounds per outing, so one box handles a full day without excess weight.
