Frequently Asked Questions
What is 8 shot ammunition used for?
8 shot is a popular all-purpose lead load used for upland bird hunting, clay shooting, and general sport shooting. The smaller pellets deliver a denser pattern at moderate ranges, making it effective for game like dove, quail, and pheasant, and reliable for clay targets.
Will this 2.75" shell work in my shotgun?
Yes, if your shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge 2.75" shells. Nearly all modern 12 gauge shotguns accept 2.75" ammunition. Do not use 3" magnum shells in a gun not rated for them. Always check your shotgun's chamber length if you're unsure.
How many rounds are in a case?
Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, for a total of 250 rounds per case.
