Gauge: These shotgun shells are in 12-gauge, which is one of the most common shotgun gauges used for various applications, including hunting and sport shooting.
Shell Length: The shells have a length of 3 inches, which is considered a magnum length for 12-gauge shotgun loads. Magnum shells often have higher powder charges and larger shot payloads for increased performance.
Shot Weight: Each shell is loaded with 1-3/8 ounces (approximately 1.375 ounces) of shot. Shot weight is an important factor that affects the performance and effectiveness of shotgun shells.
Velocity: These shells have a velocity of 1450 feet per second (fps). Velocity can impact the range and effectiveness of shotgun loads.
Shot Size: The shot size is #3, which refers to the size of the individual pellets in the shotshell. #3 shot is often used for various hunting applications, including waterfowl and upland game. It is larger than #4 shot.
Quantity: These shotgun shells are typically sold in boxes containing 25 rounds. Having multiple rounds in a box is convenient for hunting or sport shooting outings.
Material: These shells are described as "Hevi-Bismuth," which suggests that they may contain a bismuth-based shot material. Bismuth is commonly used as a non-toxic alternative to lead shot, particularly for waterfowl hunting where lead shot restrictions apply.
