Why These Features Matter
Caliber or Gauge: 12 Gauge
Ammunition must match the exact caliber or gauge marked on the firearm. Similar-looking cartridges and shotshells are not automatically interchangeable.
Product Line: 3" 15 pellets
The product line identifies the manufacturer’s intended performance category, which can help distinguish training, hunting, match, or defensive loads.
Projectile or Load Type: Buckshot
Projectile or load design is one of the clearest indicators of intended use, from routine practice to hunting, match shooting, or personal protection.
Shot Size: 00 Buck
Shot size changes pellet count, retained energy, pattern density, and suitability for specific game or target applications.
Pellet Count: 15
Pellet count helps explain pattern density and the number of projectiles delivered with each shotshell.
Package Quantity: 5 Rounds per Box
Package quantity shows exactly how many rounds are included and makes box-to-box or case pricing easier to compare.
Best For
- Defensive use where lawful and appropriate
- Buckshot use based on patterning and intended application
- Buyers confirming exact firearm and ammunition compatibility before purchase
TRA Take
Choose this shotshell by matching gauge, chamber length, payload, shot or slug type, and the way it patterns in your individual shotgun. Shotgun loads that look similar on the box can perform very differently through different barrels and chokes.
