Frequently asked questions

What does the #4 shot size mean for pheasant hunting?

#4 shot pellets strike a balance between penetration and pattern density. They retain energy at 40+ yards, ideal for pheasant-sized game. Smaller shot (#6, #7.5) spreads faster; larger shot (#2, #1) carries more force but fewer pellets downrange.

Does the high-brass design matter for my shotgun?

High-brass shells indicate stronger construction and typically load heavier powder charges. They're safe in any shotgun, though some hunters reserve them for guns rated for 3-inch magnum loads. Check your gun's chamber markings before shooting.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. Looking for FFL dealer San Jose? Visit us in Sunnyvale.
