Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of #7.5 and #9 shot in a single load?

The combination provides two shot sizes in one shell, bridging the gap between denser #7.5 patterns and the softer, more open spread of #9. This dual approach accommodates close and slightly extended ranges without swapping ammunition mid-hunt.

Can I use this 20-gauge shell in older shotguns?

The 2.75-inch chamber is the standard 20-gauge length used in modern shotguns. Always verify your shotgun's chamber marking before loading. Older guns may have different chamber specifications—consult your firearm's manual or a gunsmith.
