Benefits & Value Propositions
Maximum lethality in a 20‑gauge package: tungsten’s higher density delivers deeper penetration and smaller wound channels compared with steel for cleaner, more ethical kills.
Tight, repeatable patterns: engineered components and consistent loads produce dense patterns for higher hit probability on head/neck/upper-body targets.
Reduced meat damage: smaller, denser pellets and precise energy transfer minimize crippling and preserve meat quality.
Versatile choke performance: formulated to pattern well through common turkey chokes—get effective patterns without switching to larger gauge platforms.
Environmentally friendlier: lead-free pellet composition reduces environmental contamination and complies with many lead-restriction zones.
Usage Instructions & Patterning Tips
Confirm your shotgun’s chamber is rated for 3" 20‑gauge shells before use.
Test‑pattern at your typical hunting distances before the season. Start with your preferred choke and pattern at 30–40 yards, then adjust choke or distance according to pellet size and spread.
For denser patterns on head/neck shots, pattern through a turkey choke or modified choke; for broader patterns increase distance or move to a more open choke.
Load and handle ammunition only with a clear, pointed muzzle and the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Follow all firearm safety rules.
After exposure to wet conditions, wipe hulls and store in a dry container to protect primers and hull integrity.
Dimensions & Handling
Cartridge length (loaded): 3 inches
Typical payload volume: 1-5/8 ounces of tungsten pellets
Handle with standard shotgun ammo care—avoid dropping or rough impact to maintain primer and hull integrity
