Frequently asked questions

What's the practical difference between 1-1/8 oz and heavier 20-gauge loads?

Lighter payloads like 1-1/8 oz reduce recoil and gun movement, letting you stay on target between shots. Heavier loads pack more pellets but increase shoulder impulse. Choice depends on your shooting distance and comfort threshold.

Are these shells suitable for clay target shooting?

Yes. The 1-1/8 ounce payload works well for trap and skeet applications where moderate shot strings and controlled recoil support consistency. Many recreational shooters prefer this load type for extended practice sessions.

Can I transfer ammo through an FFL in Sunnyvale?

Yes — TacticCAL processes ammunition shipments from online sellers under California's ammunition eligibility check requirements. Find gun shop Saratoga at TacticCAL.
